The UK’s popular Rewind – The 80s Festival is heading to Oz for a new weekend music event to be held at BlueScope Field in Kembla Grange from 28 to 30 October, 2011 with a massive live outdoor line-up of 80s artists, who depending on your age or attitude range from the iconic to the washed up, the legendary to the ‘featuring the original bass player’.
Since kicking off at England’s Henley-on-Thames in 2009, the 80s Rewind Music Festival was a surprise success, drawing 30,000 punters. Last year it grew to capacity at 40,000 people and attracted the biggest line-up of artists since Live Aid.
