Red Hot Summer Tour 2024:
Suzi Quatro
Cheap Trick
Jon Stevens
The Angels
The Baby Animals
The Screaming Jets
Chocolate Starfish

Above shows the advertised line-up, but for the first time in any Red Hot summer tour, the promoters tinkered with the order of bands 2, 3 and 4 for various shows.
Rumour has it that the organisers made this move because they had no confidence in the Angels with Nick Norton as lead singer and how that would be accepted by the crowds.

Sunday 25th February – Broadwater Parklands – Southport QLD
**This was the first time in Screaming Jets history that they played on any bill above the Angels.
