The Eighties Online

It’s shaping up to be the best summer on record for much live music with many of your favorite 80s stars on Tour. Some acts from the 80s are staging their biggest concert tours ever!

Bon Jovi is set for a record breaking summer tour. Classic 80s Pop icons Human League are joined by Belinda Carlisle, Dead or alive, ABC, A Flock of Seagulls and Naked eyes for The Regeneration Tour, an 80s Pop-Fest that’s going to be hard to beat. Not to be outdone, Cindi Lauper will partner up with The B-52s.

These are just two examples of hot live 80s music you can catch this summer. I already have my tickets for Billy Idol, appearing with band-mate, Steve Stevens at a little brewery in Oregon. This will be the fourth time I’ve seen Billy live. It’s too bad I have to pick and choose. The Journey/Cheap Trick/Heart Tour also sounds good to me!.

Damn! There’s too many to choose from.

Here’s the most complete list I could come up with:
