Electrifying 80s brings music royalty to Civic Theatre

Get ready to step back into the era that redefined pop culture.

Electrifying 80s is heading to Townsville this Friday as part of its national tour, starring acclaimed vocalists Paulini and Tim Campbell with their outstanding live band.

The one night-only performance at Townsville Civic Theatre this Friday starts at 7.30pm and promises an unforgettable night celebrating the music, style and icons that made the 1980s unforgettable.

For the first time on stage together, Paulini and Tim will deliver the ultimate 80s soundtrack, fusing dazzling vocals, dynamic arrangements, and irresistible charisma.

From synth-pop hits and soaring ballads to unforgettable movie anthems, expect a setlist spanning Madonna, Lionel Richie, Whitney Houston, Bon Jovi, Prince, INXS and much more. It will be the very music that lit up MTV and filled mixtapes around the world.

Renowned for her powerhouse vocals and commanding stage presence, Paulini has built a career that shines across pop and musical theatre.

From ARIA #1 albums, to the iconic Young Divas, to leading roles in The Bodyguard and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Paulini now steps into the spotlight to unleash her inner 80s diva.

"The 80s were fearless, full of big songs, bold fashion and pure emotion. These are the songs I grew up with and still belt out today. To share them live with Tim and audiences nationwide is going to be extraordinary," Paulini said.

Equally beloved for his decades of stage and TV performances, Tim Campbell brings his trademark energy and charm, together with his lifelong love of the era. Following acclaimed sell out tours with Anthony Callea, Tim is ready to bring his own passion for the 80s to life.

"This era gave us some of the greatest anthems ever written. Performing them with my good friend Paulini is going to be electric. Expect all the classic 80s hits we all love, plenty of laughs and the ultimate 80s party atmosphere," Tim said.

Townsville Mayor Nick Dametto said the city was pumped to be welcoming Australian music royalty to Townsville Civic Theatre.

"Electrifying 80s is a blockbuster show featuring two of our country's most celebrated musicians, which we're very proud to be hosting at the Civic Theatre," Cr Dametto said.

"Council is continuously working with touring performers to bring world-class acts to Townsville, the events and arts capital of Northern Australia."

Blending nostalgia with a fresh contemporary edge, Electrifying 80s offers a night of iconic music, laughs, and moments to remember. Whether you lived the decade or are discovering it in retrospect, this concert will reignite the energy of a generation that dared to be louder, brighter and bolder than ever.
