(SRO) The 80's New Wave tour Totally Tubular Festival kicks off Tuesday, June 25 in Seattle, WA and the tour organizers have announced a line-up change: "You can't have a Totally Tubular Festival without The Tubes, so we've just added the iconic band from San Francisco to the lineup."
The rock band known for their "She's a Beauty" smash hit will join the tour starting with the kickoff show on Tuesday, June 25 in Seattle, WA and performing through the July 14 date in Washington, DC. Meanwhile, previously announced English new wave band Wang Chung will perform at additional tour dates. Their run will begin Tuesday, July 16 in Bridgeport, CT and last through Sunday, July 28 in Cleveland, OH.
The Romantics share "We regret to announce that due to an unforeseen medical situation, The Romantics are unfortunately unable to perform on the upcoming Totally Tubular Tour this summer. We appreciate our fans understanding and we hope to see everyone soon once we're able to hit the road again. Best wishes for a great time to all at the upcoming Totally Tubular Festival shows."
The festival features artists that exploded in the pop culture zeitgeist in the early to mid-1980's thanks mainly to the high rotation of their music videos on MTV; the genre has also seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years. The artists performing on the 2024 tour include THOMAS DOLBY, THOMPSON TWINS' TOM BAILEY, MODERN ENGLISH (select markets), MEN WITHOUT HATS, BOW WOW WOW, TOMMY TUTONE (select markets), THE PLIMSOULS' EDDIE MUNOZ, THE TUBES (6/25 - 7/14), and WANG CHUNG (7/16 - 7/28).
