The raspy vocals, thrilling performance and the best of Tina Turner hits will be on display at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre this July.
Led by the powerful vocals of South-African tribute artist Caroline Borole, Tina The Ultimate Tribute to the Queen of Rock N’ Roll is bound to be an unforgettable experience going through the diva’s hits across the decades with a live band, brass section, backing vocalists and dancers for a fun night out at CPAC on July 31.
The show is coming to Australia and Cairns for the first time, one year after the Queen of Rock’s death in 2023, for an unforgettable night for Turner’s FNQ fans. “This show is high energy, it’s nostalgic, it’s fast-paced, it’s a vibe and a mood. You walk in and, if you’re looking to have a great time, you will find it in those two hours,” Ms Borole said.
“I promise you that from the moment this show starts you will not be in your seat, you will be dancing, moving, singing very loudly, because we cater to every single one of the hits and I know those hits have a special meaning to people. It also caters to both old and new generations.
“Everybody knows most of these songs, they’re so transcendent and through the decades they have maintained their iconic power. When you come to this international production you will be more than catered for.”
Ms Borole said this show was the opportunity for fans to relive all the R&B, soul and rock hits from the Queen of Rock and dive into her tragic background and story of success.
“I have a newfound respect for Nutbush City Limits, I’m loving performing this song in Australia because it’s Australia’s song, I had no idea it meant so much to Australian culture, so I love seeing people get up and do the line dance,” she said.
“I love all the songs and everyone knows ‘Simply The Best’ and most of her hits, so if you want to have the best time get up and dance.
“It’s a show where nostalgia is involved – because everybody has a special story connected to the show – so if you want to relieve those memories, if you’ve been to a Tina concert or you just want to have a good night out and forget your problems, this is the show for you.”
