Gear up for the most amazing journey taking you through the hits of yester year featuring Durban’s favourite old skool DJ, Trevor Williams.

 Audiences will revel in nostalgia as we embrace the hit tracks of the 80s at one of Durban’s most picturesque locations – SKY VENUE located on the 31^st floor of the iconic Southern Sun Maharani Tower.

Yes we are talking retro fashion, dinner, dance and of course music that will bring you an evening packed with the unlimited fun, entertainment and excitement.  

Smash hits likely to thrill crowds include: bands like Duran Duran, The Police and Dire Straits, while on the pop synth scene we witnessed The Human League, Culture Club, Thompson Twins, Depeche Mode and many more. On the other side of the Atlantic we had the more rocky sounds of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Steve Miller Band, Blondie and Talking Heads. On the pop front we had Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel from Genesis topping the charts while alternative music was making its mark with bands such as REM, The Cure and Violent Femmes.

“We are thrilled at the success of our 80’s evenings at Sky. Guests can still look forward to welcome drinks, a scrumptious dinner menu followed by an entertaining evening of 80’s classics.

“We believe there is a critical need for entertainment that appeals to crowd which frequented the former Raffles nightclub in Durban. Sky is the ideal location that they connect with and events such as these show them a sense of belonging,” said Samantha Croft, GM Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani Complex.

 The music of the 80s is indeed an era that is all time favourite so join the 80s evening to make this a party bash you will never forget!  Don’t forget to don your favourite 80s gear.
