Go West

t’s a transatlantic 80s double header with British supergroup GO WEST and American Sweetheart DEBBIE GIBSON coming together at The Fortitude Music Hall on Friday 4 September 2026!

Audiences can expect a night packed with era-defining hits. Go West will deliver classics including “We Close Our Eyes,” “King Of Wishful Thinking,” and “Call Me,” while Debbie Gibson brings her chart-topping anthems “Only In My Dreams,” “Foolish Beat,” “Electric Youth", and the beloved ballad “Lost In Your Eyes.”

“It is always a pleasure and a privilege to play for our Australian fans who have been with us for four decades. Unfortunately Richard can’t be with me this time due to ill health, but I am looking forward to singing our hits and more with the mighty Go West band at some of my favourite venues. See you soon Australia!” - Peter Cox - Go West.

“I’m so thrilled to return to Australia at long last! My fans down under have remained loyal through the decades and supporting Go West on their 40th anniversary tour is a dream come true!” – Debbie Gibson.

Peter Cox and Richard Drummie formed Go West in the early 80s. Their debut single ‘We Close Our Eyes’ reached #5 on the UK singles chart in the spring of 1985. Their self-titled debut album sold over 2 million copies worldwide and remained on the UK chart for 83 weeks, establishing them as one of the finest song-writing partnerships to emerge in the 80s.

Debbie Gibson returns to Australia for the first time since 1989 to perform live on stage. At just 17, she became the youngest artist in history to write, produce and perform a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Foolish Beat.” She remains the youngest female artist to accomplish that milestone. Her album Electric Youth achieved platinum status in Australia and produced the ARIA Top 10 hit “Lost In Your Eyes.” Across her career, Gibson has sold more than 16 million albums worldwide and established herself as one of pop’s defining voices of the late 80s.

A live show not to be missed, bursting with nostalgia, pop magic and music anthems that defined a generation.
