New Year’s Eve at Airlie Beach Hotel

Big City Beat presents a high-energy 70s, 80s, 90s countdown followed by The Australian Bruno Mars Show. Regarded as one of Australia’s greatest show bands, Big City Beat has been wowing audiences worldwide for over a decade with stunning costumes, sizzling choreography, a smokin’ hot dance crew, and an acclaimed brass section performing all your favourite party classics.

The event takes audiences on a musical journey through the decades, starting with hits from the 70s, moving through the 80s and 90s, before culminating in today’s biggest hits with The Australian Bruno Mars Show. More than a tribute, the show celebrates Bruno Mars’ sound, style, and musical legacy, alongside the iconic artists who inspired him.

Backed by an 11-piece powerhouse band featuring brass, dancers, vocalists, and live percussion, the show delivers smash hits like Uptown Funk, 24K Magic, Treasure, Locked Out of Heaven, Leave the Door Open, and That’s What I Like, as well as Bruno’s chart-topping collaborations and highlights from his Silk Sonic project.

The performance captures the essence of Bruno Mars’ live shows—energy, fashion, and attitude—without impersonation, while also paying homage to the legends who shaped his sound, including Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, and James Brown. It’s a night of funk, soul, pop, and R&B designed to get every audience on their feet.
