Stayin’ alive! The Australian Bee Gees show toasts two decades together

Headliners THE AUSTRALIAN BEE GEES celebrate their 20th anniversary as a group tonight at The Excalibur. In July 1996, the local band of musicians from Melbourne, Australia, played their first note in tribute to the legendary Bee Gees in Hong Kong.

They have been singing in falsetto ever since. They have performed more than 6,000 shows to more than 2 million fans in 50 countries.

Winners of The Best of Las Vegas’ Best Tribute Show on the Strip, THE AUSTRALIAN BEE GEES continue to keep the fever alive nightly at the Thunder From Down Under Showroom at The Excalibur.

Buzz Magazine raved, “One of the most outstanding tribute shows ever assembled,” and Mike Weatherford of the Las Vegas Review-Journal called it “a tasteful tribute.”

THE AUSTRALIAN BEE GEES is an 82-minute multimedia concert with a contemporary perspective featuring state-of-the-art sound, superb lighting and giant screens streaming video clips, live camera images and stunning graphics. For more information, go to ABTShow.com.
