Pat Benatar and the Bangles to tour Australia

Pat Benatar has announced a tour of Australia with 80s girl band The Bangles.

The Love Is A Battlefield singer will play five capital cities between October 20-31 as part of an all-American nostalgia trip.

Recognisable for her spandexed stage persona and dark eye make-up, Benatar became a pioneering figure of female-fronted power rock during the 1980s.

She won an unprecedented four Grammy Awards in consecutive years between 1980 to 1983, while three of her albums went gold.

The 57-year-old has since toured almost non-stop with husband and guitarist Neil Giraldo, peppering crowds with retro hits like Heartbreaker and Hit Me With Your Best Shot.

Joining them in Australia will be pop favourites The Bangles who filled dance floors in the mid-1980s with upbeat hits such as Walk Like An Egyptian and the Prince-penned Manic Monday.
