REVIEW

Sparks at Fortitude Music Hall, Fortitude Valley, QLD

Despite having hits since the 1970s and releasing dozens of albums, this was Sparks first-ever concert in Brisbane. Anticipation couldn’t have been higher then from fans of the iconic pop duo, beloved by British audiences. Boasting a musical arsenal spanning five decades, each song a carefully crafted weapon in their sonic armoury, the band managed to find a balance of eras, sounds, hits and obscure tracks to please all. Each was delivered aplomb, with astonishing energy, gusto, and humour. Sparks are exciting, daring, clever, funny, sophisticated, cute and utterly unforgettable.
