Rock legend Suzi Quatro is heading back to South Australia, with the pioneering singer and bassist set to headline a huge outdoor show in the Barossa Valley this December.
The 76-year-old will lead the Red Hot Summer Tour at Seppeltsfield Wines on Saturday, December 5, joined by a stacked Australian rock line-up featuring Jon Stevens, Baby Animals, The Screaming Jets and Rose Tattoo.
The Barossa show forms part of Quatro’s return to Australia later this year, which includes a mix of indoor concerts and major outdoor performances around the country.
The full line up includes:
- Suzi Quatro
- Jon Stevens
- Baby Animals
- The Screaming Jets
- Rose Tattoo
Quatro remains one of rock music’s most recognisable figures more than five decades after she shot to international fame.
Born in Detroit in 1950, she started performing as a teenager before becoming one of the first female musicians to break through as a major rock frontwoman while playing her own instrument.
Her breakthrough came with the 1973 worldwide number one hit Can the Can, followed by tracks including 48 Crash, Devil Gate Drive and Stumblin’ In.
She has since sold more than 55 million records worldwide, while building a career that has also included acting, theatre, radio and writing. Fans may also remember her recurring role as Leather Tuscadero in the hit television series Happy Days.
Far from slowing down, Quatro released her latest studio album, Freedom, in 2026 and continues to tour internationally.
Her Australian visit will also include headline shows with special guests Baby Animals in Sydney, Hobart, the Gold Coast, Melbourne and Fremantle.
The Red Hot Summer Tour will make four stops around Australia, with Quatro headlining shows in Brisbane, Lake Macquarie, Torquay and the Barossa Valley. Line-ups vary between locations, with the South Australian event bringing together Quatro, Jon Stevens, Baby Animals, The Screaming Jets and Rose Tattoo.
The concert will take place among the vines at Seppeltsfield Wines, continuing the Barossa venue’s run of hosting major outdoor touring acts.
General public tickets go on sale Wednesday, August 12 at 10am local time through Face To Face Touring.
