According to Noise11, Australian rock icon Jimmy Barnes will headline at the 2026 MotoGP Australian GP held at Phillip Island. He will perform after the race on Saturday, October 24 — his first appearance at the event since 1993.
A Jimmy Barnes concert after the race is basically the perfect weekend. Rock shouting echoing through a circuit still humming with engine sound gives me chills just imagining it. Including the storyline of a comeback since 1993, I absolutely love this atmosphere where motorsport and music melt together.

Phillip Island has great scenery too, so it makes you want to go as a little getaway trip.
Seems like more fans will show up mainly for the concert, race be damned.
MotoGP is really good at drawing crowds by tying in music events like this.
If the show's after the race ends, I wonder how they'll handle the crowd turnover.
For anyone from the generation who knows Jimmy Barnes, this is unbelievably exciting news.
Since 1993 — a comeback 33 years in the making is way too heartwarming.
What kind of show was it 33 years ago?
