SixtiesMania at Thrivent Hall

A Journey Through the Sixties in 2026

Appleton Audiophiles and fans alike  — ready to twist, to shout, and time-travel back to the good ‘ole days!? Because on Thursday, April 9th, 2026, Thrivent Hall Performing Arts Center is turning back the clock for one night only with SixtiesMania: A Journey Through the Sixties:  AKA the ultimate throwback dance party that’s been bringing the golden decade of rock & roll back to life in full color to fans like us across the country.. From the British Invasion to Woodstock, from peace signs to paisley, it’s all coming back, baby. Appleton joins cities like Chandler, Clearwater, Stuart, and Fort Lauderdale on this nationwide nostalgia trip that’s been selling out theaters all across the country. If you lived it once ((or just wish you did)),  you already know this one’s gonna hit deep for all us who get to see it - and that’s exactly why we need you here for it all.

Born from the neon-lit stages of Las Vegas and led by Aussie musician Andrew Hill, SixtiesMania is like a time machine for all those who love the glitz and glamor of the music from six decades ago. Hill and his band are dedicated to preserving the soundtrack of an era that changed music forever. We’re talking The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, Simon & Garfunkel, The Monkees, and every other name that ever spun on your first turntable at your grandma’s house. Authentic vintage guitars, psychedelic lights, period-perfect suits, and those harmonies you still hum in your sleep — it’s all here and ready for you come April 9th. Every chord is a postcard from another time, every lyric a reminder of how wild, hopeful, and revolutionary the Sixties truly were.

And that’s what makes A Journey Through the Sixties so powerful is the fact that iit’s a living museum of the moments that made us who we are. These were the songs that played when America marched for peace, when love went free, when cars had fins, and when every kid wanted to be in a band. From “Hey Jude” to “California Dreamin’,” from “Satisfaction” to “Born to Be Wild,” SixtiesMania takes you there — with the sound, the look, and the electricity of a real 1960s arena show.

So Appleton: who’s ready to ride dirty in the Cadillac, grab our sweethearts before the show, and dance the night away?! Let’s make this a night your kids and grandkids will be jealous of. The sixties are calling — and we’re answering with open arms, big smiles, and bigger hair. See you real soon .
