Coffee prices are bound to increase as hospitality businesses suffer under inflation, experts and cafe owners say.

Coffee in Sydney is the cheapest in the country, according to food consultants Hey You, but cafes are feeling the pressure of trying to keep prices down.

"Sydney is far cheaper – about 5 per cent cheaper – than what people pay across the country for coffee," Hey You chief executive Asheesh Chako said.

"There's a lot of competition in the market cafes and cafe owners know if they increase their prices too much patrons will go somewhere else."

Australia has the third cheapest coffee prices in the world, but it comes at a cost. 

Underground Coffee Roasters owner Tim Briggs has managed to keep his doors open through COVID-19, increasing transport prices and a global bean shortage.

He says others haven't been so lucky. 

"We're seeing some really good operators, well-known cafes, go under and close their doors," Briggs said.

Those cafes that are still open are doing whatever they can to increase margins.

"At some point, (the price) will have to move," Briggs said.

The Big Five-0 tour will see the beloved rockers perform in major cities along with select regional areas.

Fans of all ages will have the rare chance to hear the band perform their iconic songs one last time.

The Cold Chisel frontman, 67-year-old Barnes, the tour was a priority following a near-death experience last December.

He underwent emergency surgery to replace an infected valve in his heart after a serious blood infection.

"The Big Five-0 is a landmark moment," Barnes said.

"There have been plenty of times where I never thought I'd live to see this day so I'm going to make the most of it.

"I can't wait to celebrate with my mates and with all the fans who have been such a big part of our story. We're gonna smash it!"

Cold Chisel's national tour starts in October, with the band set to promote a best-of album that will drop in August.
