The ultimate party band is headed to the 2018 Illinois State Fair! After nearly 40-years of hits and millions of albums sold, Boy George and Culture Club with Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey will perform on the grandstand stage on Friday, August 10th.
“There’s no better way to kick start the Illinois State Fair than with the ultimate 80’s party in the grandstand,” said State Fair Manager Luke Sailer. “Culture Club is one of the music industry’s most iconic bands. Their unique blend of music and stunning stage presence is sure to wow fairgoers.”
Culture Club has been called one of the most influential groups of the 1980s. The British band, led by iconic front-man Boy George, has sold more than 50-million records worldwide. The group is best known for songs such as, “Karma Chameleon,” “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya,” and “Time (Clock of the Heart),” which is featured on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s list of 500 songs that shaped rock and roll.
The Thompson Twins provided the soundtrack for so many lives in the 1980s. Now, with a new band, Tom Bailey is once again performing those hits live, including a scheduled stop at the 2018 Illinois State Fair. Fairgoers will be treated to great songs from the past, such as “Hold Me Now,” “Lies,” and new music, like “Come So Far.”
