LineUp

Formed in Birmingham, England in 1979, The Beat became an overnight sensation and a leading band of the Two Tone Ska movement. Blending soul, reggae, pop, and punk, they created an infectious dance rhythm promoting unity. Dave Wakeling later kept the legacy alive touring as The English Beat.
Formed in Liverpool in 1979, A Flock of Seagulls combined synths and guitar to define the MTV era. Led by Mike Score, the band scored major hits like I Ran (So Far Away) and Space Age Love Song, and won a 1983 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance for D.N.A.
Missing Persons is an American new wave band formed in Los Angeles in 1980. Known for pop hooks with futuristic synths and innovative rhythms, they broke through with 1982 debut Spring Session M, featuring hits “Walking in L.A.,” “Words,” and “Destination Unknown.”
Formed in London, new wave band Wang Chung achieved major U.S. success in the mid-1980s. Originally named Huang Chung, the group released hits like Dance Hall Days and To Live and Die in L.A. Their 1986 album Mosaic featured the hit Everybody Have Fun Tonight.
LA synth-pop/new wave band Animotion blends electronic + rock; best known for “Obsession” (Billboard Hot 100 Top 10), “Let Him Go,” “I Engineer,” “Room to Move.”
Musical Youth, formed in Birmingham, hit it big with "Pass the Dutchie" in 1982. Known for ska and reggae, their lineup included Dennis Seaton and the Waite brothers. Collaborated with Donna Summer; disbanded in 1985 but later reformed.
UK-born rock band blending dance beats; broke worldwide with Grammy-nominated #1 “Wild Wild West.” Also “Shake for the Sheikh” (Billboard #28), “I’ll Be There” (#8).
New Jersey alt rock band Dramarama, formed in Wayne in 1983 by John Easdale, mixed hard rock, power pop, and punk. Their near-hit “Anything Anything (I’ll Give You)” was KROQ’s most requested song. Albums include Cinema Verite (1985) and Hi-Fi Sci-Fi (1993).
Lost 80's Live is a long-running concert tour, founded in 2002, known for bringing together iconic 1980s new wave, synth-pop, rock, and electronic music artists. It offers a nostalgic "greatest hits" experience, featuring original members performing their popular radio hits. Rolling Stone calls it "one mega-show."
Best known for the '80s hit "Two of Hearts," Stacey Q, born Stacey Swain, combined a Madonna-esque style with dance-pop appeal. Starting with Ringling Brothers Circus and the synth-pop group SSQ, she later pursued a solo career. Her hit "Two of Hearts" reached the pop Top Five, leading to TV appearances. Subsequent albums didn't match this success. Transitioning to acoustic pop with Boomerang in 1997, she later returned to dance music with Color Me Cinnamon in 2010.
The Vapors are a UK new wave band formed in late-70s Surrey. Discovered by The Jam’s Bruce Foxton, they toured on the 1979 Setting Sons tour and signed to United Artists. Their hit Turning Japanese reached UK No.3; debut album New Clear Days.
