REWIND TO WOLLONGONG

For the last three years, the ’80s Rewind Festival has seen British audiences flocking to Oxfordshire to party down to the sounds of the likes of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Sister Sledge, Gloria Gaynor, Belinda Carlisle and even Kim Wilde.
2011 will be our turn to get the goodies, with the revelation of the first ever Australian version of the festival, set down for Wollongong in late October. Already confirmed on the bill are Bananarama, Sister Sledge, Kool & The Gang, Human League, Nik Kershaw and Go West, along with locals like John Paul Young and Pseudo Echo.
More artists are set to be announced in the weeks ahead, but tickets for the October 28-30 gig at Kembla Grange are apparently due to hit the sales desk on Monday July 25.

 Australia's first stop for pop!
