A dinner and show celebrating the music of Countdown Live at Flamingos Live, featuring chart-topping hits and hidden gems from the iconic Australian music television show.
Celebrating the Music of Countdown Live comes to Flamingos Live in Newcastle on Friday 11 December. It's a dinner and show, so you'll be eating and drinking while the music runs, rather than just sitting through a set.
The whole thing is built around Countdown, the music television show that defined Australian pop for years. The setlist pulls from the chart-topping hits and the hidden gems that made it onto the program, and it's fronted by Paul Field, who you might know from The Cockroaches. The format leans hard into nostalgia: one reviewer described it as 'absolutely FANTASTIC', saying the music took her straight back to the 70s and 80s and that she didn't leave the dance floor. If you spent your weekends watching the countdown, that's the era they're tapping into.

Beyond the show itself, Countdown Live runs a fanclub that puts out news on new dates, giveaways and other things related to the production. If you're into the music, it's a way to keep track of where they're playing next. The Newcastle date falls on a Friday night, so it works as a proper night out rather than a quick stop-in. It's at Flamingos Live, in the heart of the city, and it's a dinner and show, so you'll be sorted for both the meal and the music in one go. Friday 11 December, Flamingos Live, Newcastle.
