This has definitely been the year of the 80s comeback tour. We’ve already seen Spandau Ballet, Tears for Fears, George Michael and Whitney Houston play, and Bon Jovi and Simply Red are yet to come. Now we can add Pat Benatar and The Bangles to the list.
Both acts really paved the way for girl pop-rock, so it’s pretty exciting to see them joining forces for Aussie shows this October. My concert calendar is already looking pretty crowded, but I might just have to find a way to squeeze them in! The prospect of hearing hits like “Love is a Battlefield,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Manic Monday,” and “Walk Like an Egyptian” all on one night is pretty tempting!
