'Every show on our 'Big Five-0 Tour' had something special, but Melbourne really brought out something unforgettable in us,' Barnes said in a statement. 'The crowd nearly drowned us out, they sang so loud and proud. It was a show we will never forget.'
The CD and vinyl editions will feature 24 songs from the show plus three bonus tracks: 'Plaza,' 'Mr Crown Prosecutor' and 'Wild Colonial Boy.' Fans will have the option of classic black vinyl, a red-and-black splatter vinyl exclusive to JB Hi-Fi, and a limited-edition picture disc through the band's official merch store.
Also arriving Aug. 8 is a 90-minute DVD documentary offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at the tour and Cold Chisel's five-decade run. Directed by Andrew Lord and produced by Paul Clarke, the film features interviews with all five band members, rare archival photos, backstage moments, and 10 additional live tracks.
'At 50 years old, Cold Chisel are on fire in this film,' said Clarke. 'I've never seen audiences punching the air one moment and openly sobbing the next.'
The band's 50th anniversary was not just a nostalgic milestone — it proved Cold Chisel's enduring popularity and multi-generational appeal. The tour's ticket sales spanned major cities including Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Auckland, drawing longtime fans as well as younger generations discovering the band for the first time.
The Big Five-0 Live is expected to include career-spanning setlists featuring hits like 'Khe Sanh,' 'Flame Trees,' 'Cheap Wine,' and 'Bow River.'
Cold Chisel formed in Adelaide in 1973 and rose to prominence with their 1980s-era albums East, Circus Animals, and Twentieth Century. With Jimmy Barnes' unmistakable vocals and Don Walker's acclaimed songwriting, the band became one of Australia's most iconic and influential rock groups.
Pre-orders for The Big Five-0 Live are available now through Cold Chisel's official site and Universal Music Australia.

Jennifer Lopez Had a World-Class Reaction to Being Turned Away at a Chanel Store in Istanbul
Jennifer Lopez had some time to kill in Istanbul earlier this week before her headline performance in the city's Yenikapi Festival Park on Tuesday (Aug. 5). So, according to Turkish media reports, she took a few hours on Monday to go shopping in the upscale Istinye Park mall, with a stop at the Chanel shop. However, as reported in Patronlar Dünyasi, when Lopez attempted to enter the store, a security guard who seemingly didn't recognize the singer-actress told her that she couldn't enter because the store was at capacity, which Billboard can confirm. The report, which appeared to have photos of the incident described, said that Lopez appeared unbothered and said, 'OK, no problem.'

This isn't the first time this summer the superstar has had a classy response when things didn't go quite as planned. When she experienced a wardrobe malfunction during her July 25 show, she tossed her skirt — which had fallen to the floor and couldn't be re-attached — into the crowd and laughed off the snafu. 'I'm glad I had underwear on,' she joked. 'I don't usually wear underwear.' Lopez is in the midst of her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour, which kicked off on July 8 in Pontevedra, Spain, and has so far taken her to Hungary, Italy, Turkey, Poland, Romania, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Kazakstan and Armenia, with two remaining dates in Almaty, Kazakstan, on Aug. 10, and Sardinia, Italy, on Aug. 12.

This popular ‘90s toy is trending as collector's item, selling for hundreds online
Check your storage! One of the most popular kids toys of the '90s is trending online, and if you've still got one, you might just be able to use it to pay off the week's groceries (or maybe even a few weeks). Your favorite toy is now a collector's item! The Fisher Price Dream Doll House was a staple in every little kid's home in the '90s. 3 The Fisher Price Dream Doll House from the '90s is going viral. Ebay 3 The dollhouse is being sold for hundreds of dollars. Ebay If you didn't have one, you certainly knew someone who did, and I dare say it was on the top of your wishlist at every Christmas and birthday – despite the 'creepy' doll faces. Fisher Price even shared a clip of the 1992 buy just last year – and commenters had never felt so nostalgic. 'I actually had this doll house until 14 years ago. I still remember the Christmas I got it. I found it hidden in my grandparents house. I decided to randomly start playing with it. Then I got caught and had to wait till Christmas. I was so excited Christmas Morning,' one person said. 'I still have mine and all 3 of my children have played with it and loved it! My youngest is 3 and still plays with it often!!!!' said another. 'That brings back sooo many memories,' a third agreed. Well, if you haven't sold yours by now and you're not feeling so attached, you might want to go and check its condition, as the piece and all of its accessories are now selling for hundreds online. 3 Fisher Price shared a clip of the 1992 buy just last year. facebook/fisherprice How much is it really worth? An Aussie mom has taken to the Australian BSS Fisher Price Loving Family group on Facebook this week to put her beloved doll house, along with all the accompanying accessories, up for auction. And, while a standard doll house might set you back a pretty penny now, this one – now over 30 years old – is going to cost you even more, with a starting price of $522.10 USD. This particular page sees many desperate shoppers helping others to buy and sell these dollhouses in both blue and pink. Prices start from around $16 for those feeling particularly generous, and go up to around $196, and sometimes even more. Over on eBay, you can find similar prices again, with Salvos currently auctioning off a doll house with four dolls and a number of other accessories. The current price? $336.10 plus shipping. Despite little ones turning more and more to digital toys and online options, it seems there's still absolutely a market out there for 'vintage' (though referring to the '90s as vintage truly hurts my soul) toys like these. Those with a blue roof like this one are said to be even more rare, so if you think you've got one at home and are in need of some extra cash, why not jump on and see what the rest of the world thinks it's worth.
