The Ultimate Eagles Experience Dinner & Show
Saturday, 31st May 2025

(Originally 7th March but Rescheduled to 31st May due to Cyclone Alfred)

Time: 5:30PM-9PM

Where: Compass Room, Main Beach

In early 1970 a band appeared whose music appealed to audiences of all ages. “The Eagles” still have timeless appeal and connect with music lovers everywhere. With five number-one singles and six number-one albums, six Grammy Awards, and five American Music Awards, the EAGLES were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s in North America.

The Eagels Band is a stunningly accurate tribute to Southern California’s most famous musical group, The Eagels. One of the most successful bands of the seventies. The Eagles enjoyed huge worldwide success with hits like Take It Easy, Hotel California, Desperado and New Kid in Town. The Eagles conquered the world and even today, the concert DVD “Hell Freezes Over” is still the best-selling DVD ever!

Comprising of six talented musicians, each bringing their own style and flair to the group, The Eagles Band is intent on delivering a near replica of a live EAGELS performance that is so precise, so intense, so unbelievable, it comes frighteningly close to the originals themselves.

Don’t miss The Australian Eagles Show. $90pp with  a 2-course Dinner (Entree/Main) & Show at Southport Yacht Club.

Doors open 1730 – Dinner service at 1800

Entertainment commences –  1930 and concludes 2130
