rage Countdown 50th Birthday Special
Do yourself a favour and cancel your weekend plans, because we’re celebrating Countdown’s 50th anniversary with one heck of a party on rage!
To mark the momentous occasion, we’re heading on an all-night trip down memory lane, tracking the show from its inception in 1974 all the way to the final episode in 1987. We’ve delved deep into the vault to line up hours of our favourite interviews, performances, segments, and iconic moments featuring the likes of Judas Priest, Kate Bush, David Bowie, Joan Jett, Bob Marley, Iggy Pop, Mick Jagger, Madonna and heaps more.
And we know you retrophiles can’t get enough Countdown, so lucky for you the ABC is kicking off the festivities at 7:30pm with the premiere of Countdown 50 Years On – a night of live music plus stories and interviews from Countdown’s original 13-year run and never-before-seen archival footage
Tune into the rage Countdown 50th Birthday Special this Saturday November 16 from 10:30am and again from 10:45pm on ABC TV.
