Here’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage:
- Jimmy Barnes is continuing to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his album For The Working Class Man with a national tour and a reissue campaign. The tour has included or scheduled large-audience outdoor dates and features special guests, as part of a broader push around the Working Class Man milestone.[1][3]
- A documentary about Jimmy Barnes and the Working Class Man era has been produced and premiered or scheduled for broadcast, complementing the music and tour activity.[8][1]
- Coverage around the anniversary emphasizes Barnes’s enduring influence in Australian rock, with media outlets highlighting the personal and career significance of the album and the accompanying book/storytelling projects.[3][10][8]
If you’d like, I can fetch the specific tour dates, venues, and the exact release formats for the 40th anniversary edition, or pull quotes from the latest interviews. I can also summarize how the documentary fits into the overall Working Class Man revival.
Would you like me to pull the most current tour dates and the exact reissue details?
