Legendary Aussie pub rockers Cold Chisel will return to Qantas Credit Union Arena (formerly Sydney Entertainment Centre) to mark the venue’s closure at the end of 2015.

The gig will make Chisel the last Australian band to perform at the CBD’s home of big-name concerts, just one day before Sir Elton John arrives to play its final show. It’s a fitting one for Barnesy, Mossy and co., as it was at the Ent Cent in 1983 where Chisel played their original Last Stand farewell dates.

Update: a one-off show becomes a two-off, thanks to popular demand.

Cold Chisel play Qantas Credit Union Arena on Thursday December 17 (new show) and Friday December 18. The building will be demolished and replaced by a new venue nearby as part of the Darling Harbour redevelopment project.
