Blackpool is about to become the ultimate destination for 80s music fans in the North West, as the first Blackpool 80s Weekender takes over the iconic Winter Gardens.
Spanning two unforgettable days, this is set to be the biggest 80s celebration of the year, bringing together legendary artists, guest DJs, and a full-on immersive 80s experience that will have fans dancing, singing, and reminiscing all weekend long. The Blackpool Weekender will feature headline performances from some of the decade's most iconic acts in the Winter Gardens' Empress Ballroom, with further acts performing in the Arena, alongside an 80s themed quiz, plus further events to be announced taking place in the Pavilion.
Throughout the weekend, artists will include ABC, the masters of stylish synth-pop; Kim Wilde, the voice behind timeless hits; Haircut 100, whose infectious new wave anthems defined a generation, Go West, purveyors of smooth, danceable 80s grooves; Toyah, the punk icon with her inimitable energy; The Christians, delivering soulful, unforgettable vocals; and Hue and Cry, blending sophisticated pop and jazz sounds; plus more.
The Blackpool Weekender will see the Winter Gardens transformed into a full 80s playground to transport fans straight back to the era of neon, big hair, and synth-driven anthems.
