That 80s Show, Live Music Performances at Benguela Cove Wine Estate

Dust off your dancing shoes. Mike McCullagh and The Harmonix bring That '80s Show to Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate for one TV-style tribute concert, and there are only two dates, ever. Award-winning vocalists deliver spot-on impressions of Freddie Mercury, Tina Turner and more. Pair award-winning wine with lagoon views, then dance to Journey, Queen, Madonna and Tina Turner under the Hermanus sky. Early bird pricing won't last, so lock in your tickets now.

A tribute concert, not a seated show 

Forget polite applause from a chair. That '80s Show plays out like a party: you dine, you dance and you sing along. Mike McCullagh and The Harmonix recreate the era's biggest stars with costume changes and crowd-pulling energy. Grab a cash bar drink and stay on your feet until the encore.

This isn't Benguela Cove's first tribute night either. Past shows, including Dancing Queen, the Ultimate ABBA experience, Relive the '80s and the Summer of '69 Bryan Adams tribute, have built a loyal crowd of regulars. They book early and come back for the next one. 

Make an afternoon of it

Arrive early and turn the concert into a full day out at the estate.

• Lunch first: Moody Lagoon Restaurant serves à la carte lunch from 12:00 to 17:00 on both show dates, book your table now.
• Picnic on the lawns: Book a pre-show Gourmet Picnic from 11:00 (last booking 16:00, 24 hours' notice required). Choose the Classic Basket (R800) or Wine Pairing Basket (R950), both serve two, or add a Kids Picnic Basket (R250) if the family's along for the afternoon.
• Picnic & Show package: A Wine Pairing basket for two plus two General Admission tickets, bundled at R2,150 per pair, a saving on booking separately.

Both dates fall in the Cape summer, so expect warm days and mild evenings around 18°C. The lagoon breeze can pick up after sunset, so pack a light layer for later in the night, then head straight from your table to the dance floor.

That '80s Show Concerts Frequently Asked Questions 

What should I wear? It's a dress-up night, so lean into your best 80s look: neon, denim, big hair, shoulder pads, whatever gets you in the mood. Bring a light jacket too, Hermanus evenings cool down once the sun's gone. 

Is there accommodation on site if we don't want to drive home? Yes. Benguela Cove's Waterfront Villas sit on the estate, so you can walk back after the last song instead of booking a designated driver. Check availability here. 

Can we book a picnic and still get show tickets? Yes. The Picnic & Show package above bundles both together at a lower combined price. Prefer to pick your own basket and buy tickets separately instead? Standard picnics run from 11:00, with 24 hours' notice required. 

What's included in a VIP table? A reserved table of eight in a prime spot, four bottles of MCC shared between the group and dedicated service throughout the night, at R1,300 per person. 

Is this suitable for a group celebration? Yes! VIP tables seat eight, which suits birthdays, work socials or a girls' night in fancy dress. Book early, tribute nights at Benguela Cove tend to fill up. 

Do we need to book ahead? Early bird General Admission is limited, and VIP tables sell by the table, not the seat. Booking ahead secures your price and your spot. 

What time should we arrive? The show starts at 17:00. Arrive from 12:00 for lunch, or from 11:00 if you've booked a pre-show picnic, or explore world-class attractions and experiences at the estate, so you're settled in well before the first song. 

There are only two nights of That '80s Show on the calendar. Book your table and tickets today, and claim your spot on the dance floor.
