The 1985
One night. The entire decade.
The 1985 is a five piece out of South Bend, Indiana, and they are not a tribute to one band. It is the whole decade played live, front to back, by a group that treats the 80s like a setlist instead of a costume. Pop, arena rock, new wave and hair metal, multiple lead singers, tight harmonies, costume changes all night and full video production wrapped around our 360° projection mapping.
They have packed this room three times already. December 12 is the fourth, it is a Saturday, and it turns the floor into one long dance party from the first downbeat.
Multi genre setlist
Prince into Bon Jovi into Whitney into Poison. If it defined the decade it is in the set.
Full production
JBL line array, 360° projection mapping and a lighting rig built for a room this size.
Costumes encouraged
Neon, denim, big hair, leg warmers. The crowd shows up dressed and it makes the night.
All ages
Bring the kids who only know these songs from movies. Under 18 comes with a parent or guardian.
Five people, one decade
