It's been a great year already for retro acts touring the globe and the next one Australia can look forward to 

Who is the Culture Club? Well in a nutshell the English band were formed in 1981.

Then comprised Boy George on vocals, Roy Hay on guitar and keyboards, Mikey Craig with bass and Jon Moss the drummer.

Their second album, Colour by Numbers was probably considered thier best achievement, it sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. It has been certified triple platinum in the UK and quadruple platinum in the US.

One of thier best known songs is this one Karma chameleon

Joining them on the tour is 80s pop funk group Kids in the Kitchen

one of their most popular hits you might remember was used on the early morning test pattern on the ABC tv channel prior to the days shows starting (when TV wasnt 24 hours)

Look forward to seeing these 80s supergroups touring in June 2016!
