Get ready for a musical blast from the past on Friday, June 5 and Saturday, June 6 when the The Austin Civic Orchestra presents That 80’s Concert as this year’s free pops concert at the Zilker Hillside Theater. Take a walk down memory lane starting at 8 p.m. with live performances from your favorite music from the 1980’s — from Back to the Future and E.T. theme songs to Van Halen and much more. They will also have a raffle drawing to award one lucky audience member (per night) a chance to conduct John Phillip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.”
The ACO will be performing:
Chariots of Fire- Selections from Fame
- Back to the Future
- Up Where We Belong from “An Officer and a Gentleman”
- Born on the Fourth of July
- E.T. Flying Theme
- Phantom of the Opera
- Anthem from “Chess”
- A Michael Jackson Spectacular
- Journey’s Greatest Hits
- Van Halen’s “Jump”
Food trucks will also be on the hillside serving up tasty treats. You are welcome to pack a picnic and bring a blanket to spread out and relax. For more information, please visit the Facebook event page.
We hope you have a totally awesome time!
