Totally Tubular Festival to bring 80s new wave hits to Pier 17 in August
The Totally Tubular Festival will bring its 1980s new wave tour to Manahattan on Sunday, Aug. 9, with a performance at the Pier 17 rooftop. The festival features a high-energy lineup of artists who rose to prominence during the early years of MTV.
The New York date is part of a 15-market summer tour headlined by Thomas Dolby & The Lost Toy People and A Flock of Seagulls. Fans at the Pier 17 show will also see performances by The Motels, Animotion, The Escape Club, Tommy Tutone, and The Producers. The appearance by The Producers marks the first time in more than a quarter-century that the band’s original lineup has toured the country together.
“Totally Tubular is hands down the best 80’s party on the planet,” said festival creator Jon Pleeter. The event focuses on the “colorful” aesthetic of the decade, showcasing artists whose music videos were once in high rotation on cable television.
Tickets for the Manhattan performance went on sale Friday, April 24, at 10 a.m. local time. Pier 17 is located at 89 South St., New York, NY 10038. Further information regarding the New York City date and potential additional tour stops can be found at the festival’s official website.
