One of the all-time biggest '80s pop acts, Bananarama continue to deliver the goods with news they're returning to Australia for a 7-date Australian tour February 2019 - they're also working on album #11, their first in more than a decade.
First receiving media attention in 1984 when their track 'Cruel Summer' featured in 'The Karate Kid' movie, childhood friends Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward, fresh from this year's Reunion Tour, will perform sets for fans in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and Gold Coast.
"Growing up, Sara and I sang in school musicals together. And when we formed Bananarama [with Siobhan Fahey] I never thought we'd make a career out of it," Keren says.
The band's 1987 album 'WOW' debuted at #1 on the ARIA Album Chart, and featured the smash hits 'I Heard A Rumor', 'Love In The First Degree', 'I Can't Help It' and the iconic 'Venus' cementing them as instant legends.
"'Venus' was such a massive hit for us. Everyone we talk to has a fond memory of those times," Sara says.
They've also been busy performing in sold-out venues across the UK and Europe, including a one-off run of UK reunion shows with former bandmate Siobhan Fahey.
Making this an unmissable tour event for any pop aficionado, Bananarama will be joined by Tiffany, whose tracks 'I Think We're Alone Now' and 'Could've Been' made her a pop star, as well as German diva Amber, whose solo hits include 'This Is Your Night', and 'Sexual (Li Da Di)'.
General public tickets go on sale from 10am (local time) Monday 29 October. Click here for more details.
