Countdown was the longest-running music show in Australian television history. Created by Ian Molly Meldrum and visionary ABC-TV producers, Countdown aired from 1974 to 1987, launching the careers of countless international superstars including Blondie, ABBA, Cyndi Lauper and many more.
Now, the timeless hits of a generation return to the spotlight in The Countdown Years, a high-energy two-hour live concert experience celebrating the music, the mayhem and the magic of the Countdown era, featuring Tottie Goldsmith and Silverfox.
With a dynamic live band, amazing vocalists and no lip-syncing, audiences will be treated to non-stop solid gold and platinum hits by legendary artists such as INXS, The Angels, Men at Work, John Paul Young, Pseudo Echo, Dragon, Mondo Rock, Mental As Anything, John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Blondie, Tina Turner, Pat Benatar and more.
