Hidden de Tours taking Fringe World goers back in time top the glorious 80s

Julian WrightEastern Reporter

SLAP on some shoulder pads and pull on your leg warmers to take a trip down 1980s memory lane at Fringe World.

Those old enough to remember can re-live the daggy decade and those too young can discover it as part of the 80s LoveBus Tour starring Gloria in a ‘Back to the Future’ style bus tour of Perth’s 1980s pop culture.

Operated by Hidden de Tours, which pointed out venues that played a key part in Perth’s 1950s rock ‘n’ roll history at last year’s festival, will this year explore the city on a decadent journey into the 80s fashions, passions and nightlife of Perth.

The interactive tour includes a comprehensive list of former happening hot spots that are no longer there but played host to some of the biggest international stars.

Learn some of the salacious gossip and scandalous stories about what kinds of things went on behind closed doors late at night on weekends.

Festival-goers can travel in style with the opportunity to upgrade to VIP premium tickets, which include a special post-show meet and greet with Gloria, a drink, a selfie, and an exclusive tour memento.

The tour runs until Wednesday, February 21 and goes for about 90 minutes, or 110 minutes for VIP ticket holders.

Tickets are $47.50 for groups of six, $50 standard or $65 premium.

Gloria fans can also catch her at the Red Room at The Court Hotel from February 18 – 24 for $25 to $25 per ticket.
