About this event

Brian Mannix and Scott Carne front the Absolutely 80s Band for a two-hour run through the decade's biggest hits. Expect Uncanny X-Men and Kids in the Kitchen tracks alongside INXS, Dragon, AC/DC, Billy Idol and A-ha, with tributes to Michael Hutchence and Marc Hunter woven in. The Coolangatta Hotel's the spot for a straightforward nostalgia night — singalong favourites and 80s anthems, nothing more complicated than that.
