Take a trip back to the 80s

In the 1980s in Geelong, business was booming. The town grew rapidly as life by the beach was as popular as ever, and in a time of big hair and even bigger hits, the Palais on Moorabool Street was pumping.

The place to be on a Friday night, the Palais played host to some of Australia’s most iconic music legends. Cold Chisel, INXS, Motorhead, the Shadows, and the Voice of Australia himself John Farnham all rocked the house to sell-out crowds. Those of us who were there remember what a great night out it was.

If you missed it, you are in luck! Palais Geelong is set to rock out to the best of the 80s once more as ‘Forever 80s: Best of the 80s’ smashes out all the classic hits on one unforgettable night.

Fresh from a sell-out Australian tour, Forever 80s are all your nostalgic 80s music dreams come true.

Turn back time and sing along to Wham!, Whitney Houston, Billy Idol, A-Ha, Tina Turner, Prince, Cyndy Lauper, Bon Jovi and more.

Come and enjoy a drink in our bar and admire the beautifully restored foyer, before taking your seat in our spacious auditorium to enjoy the show in this stunning art deco ballroom.

The acoustics are ideal for music in the Palais, so you can rock out to all your favourites thanks to its state-of-the-art sound system and top-quality lighting.

Prep that neon, pull on those leg warmers and relive the soundtrack of the best generation.

‘Forever 80s: Best of the 80s’ at Palais Geelong for one night only, May 20, is guaranteed to be Simply the Best!
