Add the quirkily titled Totally Tubular Festival to the increasing number of nostalgia live events. The touring new wave festival will hit 17 North American cities this year with a lineup led by Thomas Dolby, Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey, and Modern English.
Other notable acts include Men Without Hats, The Romantics, Bow Wow Wow, Tommy Tutone (in select markets), and The Plimsouls. The trek kicks off on June 28th in Santa Barbara, California ahead of stops in Los Angeles, Boston, New York City, and more. See the full schedule below.
Tickets go on sale Friday, January 12th via the festival’s website.
“This is a dream lineup for those who love the music of the early 1980s, and for those who want to relive the days when life was… plain and simply — a total party,” CPO (Chief Party Officer) of Totally Tubular Festival Jon Pleeter said in a statement. “You wore dayglow, you wore parachute pants, you had big hair, perms and more perms, mullets, leg warmers, along with tons of buttons and lots of rubber bracelets. You wore sunglasses at night. The choruses were big, and the hooks were bigger—the party didn’t end.”
