Thomas Dolby, The Romantics, A Flock of Seagulls, Men Without Hats, Bow Wow Wow, and Tommy Tutone will perform at the first two shows. For the New York City concert, The Motels will replace The Romantics on the bill.

The inaugural Totally Tubular Festival tour took place in the summer of 2024 and featured many of the same artists who will be performing at the upcoming concerts.
Tour creator Jon Pleeter calls the trek “the best ’80s party on the planet.” He added, “The audiences last year fully embraced the spirit of the tour and were wildly enthusiastic.”
Thomas Dolby’s and The Romantics’ Other 2025 Performance Plans
Prior to the Totally Tubular Festival performances, Thomas Dolby will be playing nearly 30 headlining shows on his Iconic 80s Recollections Tour. The veteran British synth-pop artist’s upcoming itinerary runs from an October 22 concert in Richmond, Virginia, through a November 30 gig in Nashville.
The Romantics currently have one other show scheduled, an October 18 headlining performance in San Jacinto, California.
Several of the other acts performing at Totally Tubular Festival shows also have additional other upcoming concerts scheduled. For more details, visit AnnabellaLwin.com (Bow Wow Wow), MR8675309.com (Tommy Tutone), and SafetyDance.com (Men Without Hats).
