The Bad 80s Band

The act

Neon, mullets, leg warmers and a costume change every set. The Bad 80s Band go all in on the decade, with Rick Astley, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Journey, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, Rick Springfield and the B-52's all in the mix, plus choreographed routines to go with it. They're committed to everything great and everything terrible about the era, which is the whole point. Usually a five piece, though the lineup can shift depending on what your event needs. Sound and lighting come with them, and a DJ keeps the music going between sets. Sydney based, and they're insured.

Good to know

What to expect

Full commitment to the decade, is the short version. Neon, mullets, leg warmers, and a complete costume change for every set. The Bad 80s Band play Madonna, Whitney Houston, Bon Jovi and Journey, plus Rick Astley, Cyndi Lauper, Rick Springfield and the B-52's, with choreographed dance routines and mashups stitched through the sets. They're as committed to the terrible parts of the era as the great ones, which is the whole joke and the reason it lands. Nobody's being ironic about it on stage.

On the day

They arrive with the full show: sound and lighting, both theirs. Your venue doesn't need a PA or any stage lighting of its own. And the music doesn't stop when the band steps off, because a DJ covers the breaks between sets, so you're not scrambling to plug a phone into something during the changeovers.

Performance options

Five pieces is the usual shape, and it's the one most events get. The line-up isn't fixed, though. If your room, stage or evening calls for something different, tell them what you need and they'll work out what's possible from there.

Insurance and paperwork

Public liability insured.
