Totally Tubular Festival Sets 2026 Tour of ’80s Music Stars
by Best Classic Bands Staff
Totally Tubular Festival, the acclaimed multi-act ‘80s extravaganza, has announced its 2026 summer tour of the U.S. The colorful lineup features Thomas Dolby & The Lost Toy People, A Flock of Seagulls, The Producers, Animotion, The Escape Club, and Tommy Tutone. [On June 11, it was revealed that Bow Wow Wow and Men Without Hats would be replacing The Motels in the lineup. See the dates below. The statement noted that Motels’ singer/founder Martha Davis needs time to heal from a recent medical procedure. She is expected to make a full recovery but must take the summer off.] Tickets are available here.
Of note, this marks the first time Thomas Dolby & The Lost Toy People have performed together since 1988. This will also be the first time in over 25 years that The Producers’ original lineup will tour the U.S. nationally coast to coast.
The artists performing at this year’s Totally Tubular Festival exploded in the pop culture zeitgeist in the 1980s, thanks mainly to the high rotation of their music videos on MTV of such songs as “She Blinded Me With Science,” I Ran (So Far Away),” “Space Age Love Song,” “Only the Lonely,” “Obsession,” “Wild Wild West,” and “867-5309/Jenny.” And these artists have enjoyed a steady rise in popularity in recent years as a younger generation has embraced the decade.
