ACTIVEDescription
Step back in time and lose yourself in the electrifying sounds of the decade that defined a generation. Animotion, best known for their iconic hit 'Obsession,' joins an all-star lineup at the Totally Tubular Festival — a touring celebration of the very best of 1980s new wave and synth-pop. Alongside legendary acts including Thomas Dolby, A Flock of Seagulls, The Motels, The Producers, The Escape Club, and Tommy Tutone, Animotion delivers a night of infectious hooks, pulsing synthesizers, and unstoppable nostalgia.
The Totally Tubular Festival rolls across some of the most iconic venues in the country this July 2026, from the intimate in-the-round Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix and the storied Castro Theatre in San Francisco, to the legendary Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and the electric Mission Ballroom in Denver. Each stop promises a unique atmosphere wrapped in the unmistakable spirit of the '80s — big hair, bigger synths, and anthems you never stopped knowing by heart.
Whether you grew up dancing to these songs or are discovering them for the first time, the Totally Tubular Festival is a full-throttle time machine experience. Expect neon-lit stages, euphoric singalongs, and a crowd united by sheer love of the era's most irresistible music. Don't miss your chance to see Animotion and friends bring the '80s roaring back to life on stage.
