More Paul KellyThe rockin’ and rollin’ Red Hot Summer Tour returns in 2026, today announcing its star-studded all-Australian line-up. Headlined by the one and only Paul Kelly, the tour has also locked in household names in rock, pop, and country, including Missy Higgins, The Cruel Sea, The Cat Empire, Kasey Chambers, and Jess Hitchcock. You may be unfamiliar with the name Jess Hitchcock, but if you’ve seen Paul Kelly perform in recent years, you’ve seen her in his band, lending backing vocals. While she’s set to appear with Kelly at the Red Hot Summer Tour, she will also kick off the day with her own music, backed by a band. Kelly said of his return to the Red Hot Summer Tour circuit, “The band and I have many great memories from our last Red Hot Summer tour.
