Australia will be transported back to the neon-soaked heyday of the 1980s when Paulini and Tim Campbell hit the road together for the first time with Electrifying 80s, a 26-date national tour running from March to June 2026.
Backed by a full live band, the pair promise the ultimate party experience, complete with soaring vocals, retro glamour and a setlist stacked with the era’s most beloved anthems. Audiences can expect everything from synth-pop and stadium rock to power ballads and dance floor staples, performed with a fresh twist.
The tribute spans iconic artists such as Madonna, Lionel Richie, Whitney Houston, Bon Jovi, Prince and INXS, capturing the soundtracks that defined a generation of mixtapes, movie blockbusters and MTV playlists.
Paulini, one of Australia’s most powerful vocalists with credits spanning ARIA success, Young Divas stardom and major stage roles, said the music of the decade remains deeply personal. “The 80s were fearless, full of big songs, bold fashion and pure emotion. These are the songs I grew up with and still belt out today. To share them live with Tim and audiences nationwide is going to be extraordinary,” she said.
Campbell, a seasoned performer across TV, stage and music, has toured extensively with Anthony Callea and is stepping into the spotlight with his own love of the decade. “This era gave us some of the greatest anthems ever written. Performing them with my good friend Paulini is going to be electric. Expect all the classic 80s hits we all love, plenty of laughs and the ultimate 80s party atmosphere,” he said.
