For those who remember the 80s, the Have You Heard the News? The Music of Huey Lewis tribute show at the 2025 Adelaide Fringe promises to be a trip down memory lane.
Led by the talented Rohan Watts, this lively performance brings to life the unforgettable music of Huey Lewis and the News, a band whose sound became the soundtrack to a generation.
This year marks a significant anniversary—the 40th year since the release of hits like The Power of Love and Back in Time, songs made famous by the iconic film Back to the Future. It’s the perfect moment to reflect on the legacy of a band whose infectious energy and catchy tunes defined much of the 1980s.
Fans can look forward to hearing beloved tracks such as Hip to Be Square, If This Is It, and I Want a New Drug, among others. Watts’ voice closely mirrors the signature sound of Huey Lewis, and with a talented live band, the show captures the essence of The News.
Whether you were there in the 80s or are simply discovering the music now, Have You Heard the News? offers a chance to relive those timeless classics. Expect a night of nostalgia, with plenty of toe-tapping and sing-alongs to the hits that still hold a special place in our hearts.
