Totally Tubular Festival tour to feature Modern English, Bow Wow Wow
Jan. 4 (UPI) -- The Totally Tubular Festival tour will bring together '80s new wave artists in 2024.
Modern English, Bow Wow Wow, Thomas Dolby, Tom Baily of Thompson Twins, Men Without Hats, The Romantics, Tommy Tutone, The Plimsols and other artists will perform across North America this summer.
"The festival features artists that exploded in the pop culture zeitgeist in the early to mid-1980s thanks mainly to the high rotation of their music videos on MTV," a press release reads.
The tour kicks off June 28 in Santa Barbara, Calif., and concludes July 27 in Cincinnati.
"This is a dream lineup for those who love the music of the early 1980's, and for those who want to relive the days when life was...plain and simply -- a total party," festival organizer Jon Pleeter said. "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."
