Absolutely 80s
Based in Melbourne
About this act
Absolutely 80s is a touring show built around performers who had hits in that decade, singing their own songs and then widening out across the era. That second part is the point of it. Rather than one band's catalogue for two hours, the set pulls in material from a broad spread of 80s artists, which keeps a mixed room engaged. The crowd for it is largely people who were teenagers then and are now somewhere between 30 and 50. The show tours nationally and plays casinos, big barn venues, corporate nights and private functions.
