"The one thing Jimmy Barnes said: 'If you ever get the band back together, do not make a record.'" @powderfinger_au on how Cold Chisel, their kids, and live music decline inspired their reunion. abc.net.au/news/2026-10-30/p…
Powderfinger announce more shows, discuss split and joyful reunion

Powderfinger announce more shows, discuss split and joyful reunion

For Powderfinger, reuniting wasn't about cashing in on nostalgia, but creating a cultural moment to bring some joy back to the band, and to a divided world.
