The new version of the group is fronted by original lead singer Victor Willis who quit the band in the late 1970s. The Village People featuring Victor Willis have recieved scathing reviews during their first live show, including one from OUTinPerth.

The line up which has been touring the globe for decades sent a video sharing their excitement at Australia’s recent law changes around marriage equality before launching into a quintessential Aussie tune.
