"HOLY JOHN HUGHES THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!"
Get ready to turn up the nostalgia and sing your heart out! Synthpop sweethearts Shannon Curtis and Jamie Hill return to xBk Live with 80s kids 2 — the second installment of their nationally touring hit side project 80s kids.
80s kids 2 — lovingly referred to by those in the know as "80s kids 2: The Empire Strikes Back" — is a high-octane joyride through the best of 1980s synthpop — tied together with funny, moving stories about growing up in the 80s.
From the electrifying beats of Pet Shop Boys and New Order to the heart-on-the-sleeve melodies of OMD and Erasure, this show is a love letter to the decade of iconic anthems and underdog heroes.
This dynamic concert-style theater show features all-time favorites from Thompson Twins, Soft Cell, Alphaville, Naked Eyes, The Human League, and many more — delivered in a wildly fun and interactive performance that feels like you’re experiencing them live for the first time.
With awesome, authentic sound, amazing immersive video art, killer merch, inclusive energy, and magnetic, joyful stage presence, this hit show is an experience that you don’t want to miss. Get your tickets today!
* Freebies at the merch table for people wearing 80s fashion!
