TOTALLY TUBULAR FESTIVAL, the acclaimed multi-act ‘80’s new wave extravaganza which originated in 2024, returns for a 2026 U.S. summer tour including a stop in Huber Heights, OH for a performance at Rose Music Center on Saturday, August 15. The colorful lineup features Thomas Dolby & The Lost Toy People, A Flock Of Seagulls, The Motels, The Producers, Animotion, The Escape Club, and Tommy Tutone.
This will be the first time Thomas Dolby & The Lost Toy People have performed together since 1988; their last show was at the Rose Bowl supporting Depeche Mode. This will also be the first time in over 25 years that The Producers (original lineup) will tour the US nationally coast to coast.
The 2026 tour comes on the heels of a hugely successful holiday tour of the Northeast. This year’s trek will hit 15 markets, including Phoenix, Denver, San Francisco, Anaheim, Hollywood, Las Vegas, New Town, ND, Washington, DC, Atlantic City, New York City, Louisville, St. Petersburg, Huber Heights, OH, and Aurora, IL with more dates to be announced.
The artists performing at this year’s TOTALLY TUBULAR FESTIVAL exploded in the pop culture zeitgeist in the 1980’s thanks mainly to the high rotation of their music videos on MTV. These artists have enjoyed a steady rise in popularity in recent years, with their music having a lasting impact.
"Totally Tubular Festival has clearly emerged in just two years as the market leader for all 80's tours in North America, not to mention Totally Tubular is hands down the best 80's party on the planet,” says Jon Pleeter, the festival’s creator. “For all of the fans of 80's new wave music, the Tubular circus is coming to town—we'll see you this summer.”
“The current 80s music revival is more than just a walk down memory lane for those of us that were actually there. Because those born after the 80s are discovering the treasure trove of fresh musical ideas that exploded onto the scene in the heyday of MTV and KROQ. And the huge influence we had on everything that came after.” –Thomas Dolby
"The Totally Tubular Festival invites the audience into a unique experience with hitmakers from the 80s. Every artist on the bill brings hit songs that spark fond memories. After the show, fans tell us stories of where they were and what they were doing when they first heard the song 'Obsession.' Then they introduce us to the next generation—the sons and daughters they brought to the show. The Totally Tubular Festival is a wonderful shared experience for both the audience and the artists." –Bill Wadhams, Animotion
