Thirty eight years. No, not the average age of the crowd or the wait time of a Fortitude Valley taxi rank. It's how long since tonight's headliners last played in Brisbane.
Back in November, while the world was going ga-ga over the vault tracks from Taylor Swift’s iconic 1989 album re-release, a British band were celebrating their highest-charting album in their 43-year history.
