Hot off the back of sold out shows and rave reviews across the USA and Australia, Culture Club are returning to our shores for another run of shows. Australia adores Culture Club – both the mayhem and success of their June tour has cemented our love affair with the iconic 80’s pop band. The tour will feature the original line-up: singer Boy George, guitarist/keyboardist Roy Hay, bassist Mikey Craig and drummer Jon Moss. Says the band “after the success of our June visit and the huge warm welcome we received from our Australian fans, we have decided to come back and do it all again – you simply can’t get rid of us that easily!’’
Culture Club have been wowing audiences across the globe as part of their worldwide tour. Musically, they are sounding better than ever as they are joined by extra percussionists, keyboard players, backing singers and a horn section. This bigger line up has added a whole new element of warmth and sound to their live shows, of which, are consistently receiving glowing reviews. Culture Club have continued to stay relevant and are as remarkable now as they were back then.
Of all the exciting groups to come out of the alternative music scene in the early 80’s, Culture Club became the first to achieve arena headline status. The adulation from around the world as well as soaring record sales that followed the release of their classic single ‘Do You Really Want to Hurt Me’ saw Culture Club explode on a global level. Over the course of their career, they have had 50 million record sales to their name. The band went on to achieve stunning success with their debut album Kissing To Be Clever, and in particular scored three Top Ten hits in the US – becoming the first group to hit that milestone since The Beatles. ‘Time (Clock of the Heart)’ has also been included on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s list of 500 songs that shaped rock and roll.
There is a stellar line up of Australian 80’s support acts to turn this tour into a whole other level of fun – it’s going to be a seriously HUGE show and you can expect it to be chock-a-block full of the smash hits we all know and love! Tasmania will see Kids In The Kitchen, Pseudo Echo & Real Life and Barossa Valley will have 1927, Pseudo Echo & Real Life. In the Hunter Valley – 1927, Pseudo Echo, Kids in The Kitchen, Wa Wa Nee & Real Life. Melbourne will stage 1927, Pseudo Echo, Eurogliders, Wa Wa Nee & Real Life.
When you go to a Culture Club show, you can expect to have loads of fun and be fully immersed into a huge party atmosphere – then add to the mix this super 80’s line up, what more could you ask for? Grab your friends and be sure to get your tickets quickly so you don’t miss out!
