Barnes has been to the Central West a few times in recent years, including during his Jimmy Barnes - Working Class Man tour in April 2018 when he performed in Bathurst and Mudgee.

He also made a flying visit into a Bathurst bookstore in December 2017 to sign copies of his then newly-released book Working Class Man.

Barnes's new album, My Criminal Record, has distilled and expanded upon his two best-selling memoirs to create 13 pieces of burning, heartland rock and roll. It will resonate with anyone who has ever found themselves standing on the outside, looking in.

Troy Cassar-Daley, after reading Jimmy's memoir Working Class Boy, wrote the song Shutting Down Our Town for Barnes.

Jimmy Barnes' concert promoter has urged fans to only buy tickets via this direct link.

Also, it warned that people who chose to ignore this advice and instead used search engines like Google to find tickets, which typically steered people to unofficial re-selling sites like Viagogo, could often lead to rip offs.
