His special guest will be Eskimo Joe.

Barnes' Shutting Down Your Town tour will feature classic hits plus highlights from his new album, My Criminal Record.

And while Barnes wasn't overly complimentary of Canberra in his second memoir, Working Class Man, the national capital was the place he met his beloved wife Jane, daughter of a diplomat.

Tickets are available from Ticketek - 132 849 or ticketek.com.au.

Can't wait that long? Jimmy Barnes will also be at Songland Records at Cooleman Shopping Centre on June 5 from 4pm signing his latest album.
