Air Supply, the Australian vocal duo known for its early 1980s string of gold soft-rock hits “All Out of Love,” “Every Woman in the World,” “The One That You Love” and more, will return to Wind Creek Event Center, it was announced Monday.

The duo, whose 1980 album “Lost in Love” sold double platinum, will perform at 8 p.m. March 19.

Tickets, at $39.50-$65, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the event center box office at 77 Wind Creek Blvd., Bethlehem, at www.windcreeke­ventcenter.com, www.Ticketmast­er.com, Ticketmast­er outlets or 800745-3000.

Air Supply is the duo of Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock. It formed in 1976 and broke into the U.S. charts with “Lost in Love,” which hit No. 1 on the Adult Contempora­ry chart in 1980.

That was the title track of a disc that sold double-platinum in the U.S. and also produced the No. 2 hits “All Out of Love” and “Every Woman in the World.”

Its next album, 1981’s “The One That You Love,” topped the U.S. chart and had two No. 1 hits with the title track and “Here I Am,” and the Top 5 hit “Sweet Dreams.”

Air Supply had one more platinum disc in the United States, the 1982 disc “Now and Forever.” The disc also gave Air Supply its last chart-topping hit, “Even The Nights are Better,” as well as a Top 5 hit with “Two Less Lonely People in the World.”

The duo’s 1983 “Greatest Hits” album also was Top 10, sold five times platinum and had another No. 2 hit, “Making Love Out of Nothing at All.”

Air Supply’s last Top 10 hit in the U.S., “Just As I Am,” came in 1985 from its self-titled disc, which also sold gold.

Air Supply has since released nine more studio discs, as well as 12 compilatio­n discs and three live albums, none of which charted in the United States. The latest was 2012’s “Live in Hong Kong.”

The duo played the venue, then called Sands Bethlehem Event Center, in March, as well as in 2015, and played Penn’s Peak near Jim Thorpe in November.
