Let’s go! Whip out the leather jacket and legwarmers, tease up that hair (where’s the Aqua Net?), and get ready to par-tay! From the moment the first guitar riff shreds and the videos light up the screen, audiences are transported back to an era when cassette tapes ruled the world.
NEON NOSTALGIC is bringing back 80s MUSIC TELEVISION in rad-to-the-max fashion. So mark your calendar for Friday, September 11, when the lights, action, and music roar back to life at 8 p.m. at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets start at only $33 and are available at cerritoscenter.com.
Neon Nostalgic has toured North America and around the globe, earning a reputation as one of the world’s premier nostalgia acts and prompting The Bermuda Sun to declare the show “a musical and visual triumph.”
It’s the only live band that syncs every moment of its performance in real time with the original music videos – transporting audiences straight back to the golden age of music television. Relive the artists who ruled bedroom walls and dominated Walkman plays: The Cure, Prince, Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Bon Jovi, U2, INXS, Michael Jackson, and so many more. It’s a full-sensory rewind to an era when MTV shaped culture, sound, and style and when every video told a story.
Adding even more star power to the evening, the show will be hosted by original MTV veejays Mark Goodman and Alan Hunter, pioneers who helped launch the music television revolution. Sharing backstage stories, insider memories, and firsthand experiences from the dawn of MTV, Goodman and Hunter transform the night into more than just a concert. Talk about tubular! The performance is a living time capsule straight from the decade of excess, attitude, and, like, totally awesome music videos.
