Set to hit 17 North American cities beginning on June 28, including Los Angeles, Boston, New York City, and more, the Totally Tubular Festival lineup is led by Thomas Dolby, Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey, and Modern English, along with appearances from Men Without Hats, The Romantics, Bow Wow Wow, Tommy Tutone (in select markets), and The Plimsouls.
“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,” says Jon Pleeter, CPO (Chief Party Officer) of TOTALLY TUBULAR FESTIVAL. “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.”
A portion of proceeds from tickets -- on sale starting January 12 -- will go towards food banks locally in each city. Take a look at the full itinerary below.
