Bee Gees Way Reopens

Beloved Redcliffe son Barry Gibb is back in 2015 to launch Stage 2 of Bee Gees Way on Redcliffe Parade. Opened in February 2013, the first stage of Bee Gees Way was closed to further develop the open-air museum space.

The oldest brother of the powerhouse musical trio the Bee Gees, Barry Gibb is the sole surviving member of the iconic Australian band known globally for disco anthems like 'Stayin' Alive', 'Night Fever', and 'You Should Be Dancing'. Brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice set the tone for the global disco scene, and were instrumental in the success of the John Travolta classic, 'Saturday Night Fever'.

Throughout the development of Bee Gees Way, Barry Gibb has been closely involved, helping to plan and develop the space into a must-visit destination for music lovers from around the world. The 50 metre walk-through museum has been a beloved part of the Redcliffe Parade landscape since its opening, with visitors enjoying Gibb's personal stories of the band's meteoric rise to fame. The Stage 2 expansion will see a new range of stories included, with a focus on the family's childhood years in Redcliffe.

It was at the Redcliffe Speedway that the brothers got their start and the band's name, and the seaside town held fond memories for all of the Gibb brothers. To many, the opportunities found in Redcliffe paved the way for the boys to make their way into musical history.

Stage 2 of Bee Gees Way is heavily influenced by the suggestions of visitors, and has been a labour of love for the designers and builders of the open-air monument. The grand opening of Stage 2 is part of the Redcliffe Festival program, and will be the highlight of Friday, 11th September.

Stage 1 of Bee Gees Way was officially opened by Barry Gibb to an overwhelming crowd of supporters and well-wishers, and this year's unveiling of Stage 2 promises to give music fans more chances to see their hero. There will be a number of prime viewing positions along the Redcliffe Parade, but as always, get in early to ensure a good view.

There will be stage entertainment near the Jetty from 1pm, and the official proceedings, featuring Barry, will begin at 2pm. The outdoor museum of Bee Gees Way will be open to the public from 4pm.
