Wollongong’s never really had a big music festival, but it’s saved up something special for its first. From October 28 to 30 Kembla Grange will embrace all things retro with the 80s Rewind Music Festival.
The bill is out of this world, with international acts like The Human League, Kool & The Gang, Sister Sledge, Bananarama, Nik Kershaw, Tony Hadley of Spandau Ballet, and Go West all taking part. There’ll be a strong local presence too with Ross Wilson, Mental as Anything, John Paul Young, and Pseudo Echo all taking part. Tickets go on sale on July 25 from Moshtix.
Needless to say, I just wish it didn’t clash with Jazz in the Vines! Side shows anyone?

what about a lead band like DURAN DURAN ?? They are still about, that would be a major act !
Wouldn’t that be brilliant Kim! If it does well this year, maybe they’ll be tempted to make the trip in 2011?
