The excitement began to build in July when the MTC announced their main headline acts to take the stage and bring the Australian 80s back to life.

Featuring on stage will be rock bands and classic stars like The Whitlams, The Black Sorrows, Richard Clapton, Ross Wilson, The Badloves, Chocolate Starfish, Mental as Anything and The Convicts.

A brand new concept - the Battle of the Bands stage show - will debut this year to get the crowd more involved than ever before.

Tickets had sold fast for the one-day event following in the footsteps of last year when more than 4000 people passed through the gates.

Gates open at 3pm and showtime is at 4pm.
