Totally Tubular Festival of ’80s Bands Returns For 2025 Tour
by Best Classic Bands Staff
Following last year’s successful run, the 80’s New Wave tour Totally Tubular Festival has announced a summer 2025 featuring artists that earned significant thanks largely to the heavy rotation of their music videos on MTV. These artists have enjoyed a steady rise in popularity in recent years, with their music having a lasting impact. The lineup is Haircut 100, Right Said Fred, Men Without Hats, The Tubes (July 10-24), The Motels, Animotion (June – July 5, July 10-24), The Escape Club (June – July 5, July 10-24), and Musical Youth (who don’t appear on the July 6, 13, and 18 stops). Men Without Hats and The Tubes return to the tour this year while some artists, such as show closer Right Said Fred, have not toured the U.S. since the early 90’s.
Totally Tubular Festival will keep its popular compact set times highlighting each artist’s major hits. Tickets go on sale January 31 at 10 a.m. local time here.
A portion of proceeds from ticket sales will go towards food banks locally in each market.

Jump into a conversationI want to see the Polecats who are on this tour. I love rockabilly and the Polecats are one of the pioneers of 80s Rockabilly.
