Get ready, Barn family — because this Saturday night we’re rewinding the clock, cranking the neon, and firing up the biggest 80s party in Bayswater! ABSOLUTELY 80s are rolling into The Barn with five iconic Aussie legends on one stage… and this lineup is HUGE.

We’re talking:
UNCANNY X MEN’S BRIAN MANNIX
KIDS IN THE KITCHEN’S SCOTT CARNE
BOOM CRASH OPERA’S DALE RYDER
THE CHANTOOZIES’ ALLY FOWLER
OL’55, JO JO ZEP & HEY HEY IT’S SATURDAY’S WILBUR WILDE

It’s a supergroup of the biggest voices and personalities the 80s ever produced — right here at The Barn Live for one night only.


🎤 GET READY FOR HIT AFTER HIT AFTER HIT

This show isn’t just a performance… it’s a full-blown time machine. Expect an explosion of the songs you grew up with, danced to, sang in the car, and still know by heart.


💥 Brian Mannix – Uncanny X-Men

Brian will be unleashing classics like “Everybody Wants to Work,” “50 Years,” “Party,” and those unmistakable Uncanny X-Men sing-along hooks. Mannix brings the cheeky charisma, the wild energy, and the rock-edge that defined an era.


🎶 Scott Carne – Kids in the Kitchen

Smooth vocals incoming! Scott will be delivering all the big hits like “Change in Mood,” “Bitter Desire,” “Current Stand,” and that unmistakable 80s synth-pop brilliance. Nostalgia incoming… in HIGH DEFINITION.


🔥 Dale Ryder – Boom Crash Opera

Dale’s voice is one of Australia’s most iconic — and yes, he’ll be belting the big ones:
“Onion Skin,” “Dancing in the Storm,” “Great Wall,” and “Hands Up in the Air.”
When Dale hits those BCO choruses… the whole Barn will erupt.


💖 Ally Fowler – The Chantoozies

Get ready to dance because Ally will light things up with “Witch Queen,” “Kiss ‘n’ Tell,” “Wanna Be Up,” and “Love the One You’re With.” Pure pop perfection from one of the brightest voices of the era.


🎷 Wilbur Wilde – Jo Jo Zep / Ol’55 / Hey Hey It’s Saturday

The saxophone king himself! Expect Wilbur’s unmistakable charm, humour, and big-band presence — plus classic moments from the Jo Jo Zep & Ol’55 songbooks. When Wilbur steps forward with that sax, the whole place moves.


💡 A NIGHT WHERE THE 80s COME ALIVE

Think big hair, bigger hooks, shimmering synths, rock riffs, sax solos, and harmonies you forgot you remembered.

Think neon lights, shoulder pads, denim jackets, and all the hits you danced to at Blue Light Discos, school formals, pubs, clubs, parties, and living rooms across the country.

This show is the REAL DEAL — performed by the legends who made the 80s unforgettable.


🕺💃 THE DANCEFLOOR WILL BE PACKED

The Barn transforms beautifully for live music, and this is the kind of night where the crowd becomes part of the show.

You’ll be:
💥 Throwing your hands in the air (Dale Ryder style)
💥 Singing “Change in Mood” at full volume
💥 Dancing in the storm — literally and musically
💥 Partying like it’s 1985
💥 And screaming “Wanna Be Up” like it’s still #1 on the charts

This isn’t a sit-down show.
This is an
everybody-up, everybody-singing, everybody-dancing celebration of the decade that truly refuses to fade.


🌟 WHY THIS NIGHT IS SO SPECIAL
