Belinda Carlisle performs at Rewind The 80s festival Scotland at Scone Palace, Perth.

If ever anyone has given Madonna a run for her money as the queen of the three-minute pop song, it’s Belinda Carlisle. Over the last two decades, she’s made the journey from Hollywood-based teen punk with The Go-Go’s to the ultimate global big hair pop icon with a series of sophisticated, but instantly memorable pop-rock singles. Achieving international success with “Heaven Is A Place On Earth”, the single reached number one on both sides of the Atlantic and established her as a solo artist in her own right after the demise of The Go-Go’s in 1985. With such massive solo hits as “Circle In The Sand”, “(We Want) The Same Thing”, “I Get Weak”, “Leave A Light On” and “Do You Feel Like I Feel?” to her name, Belinda is still touring the world with her brand of uplifting and inspirational pop.
