80s Mixtape | Top of the Pops

Step back into the neon-soaked world of legwarmers, double denim and unapologetic spectacle.
80s Mixtape | Top of the Pops is back for its much-anticipated comeback season — bigger, bolder and dripping in big-hair energy.

“Bring on the neon, lycra and acid wash denim, I was enthralled from start to finish.”
— ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perth Happenings 

This high-energy circus cabaret celebrates the strength, grace and showmanship of a powerhouse aerial ensemble at the absolute top of their game. Hosted by internationally acclaimed British comedian Andrew Silverwood, the night is splattered with razor-sharp wit, nostalgic chaos and laugh-out-loud moments between jaw-dropping feats.

Featuring breathtaking aerial artistry, playful choreography and crowd-favourite acts alongside fresh new surprises, Top of the Pops is set to the soundtrack of a generation. From synth anthems to guilty pleasures, each act is a love letter to the 80s — reimagined through world-class circus.

A feast for the senses and a full-throttle celebration of an iconic era, 80s Mixtape | Top of the Pops is a triumphant return to the stage.
Expect spectacle, nostalgia and pure Fringe joy.
