Fans who are missing live music performances can celebrate everyone’s favorite decade — the ’80s — later this month at a virtual festival.
Called the Radical Sabbatical, the festival will take place on January 30 and feature a performance by
Kenny Loggins
, who of course gave us all those movie soundtrack hits of the ’80s, from “I’m Alright” to “Danger Zone” to “Footloose.”
The festival will also feature appearances by ’80s hair band icons
Bret Michaels
of
Poison
and
Sebastian Bach
of
Skid Row
, as well as hip-hop legend
Grandmaster Flash
and “Kiss Me Deadly” rocker
Lita Ford
. In addition,
Ray Parker Jr.
of “Ghostbusters” fame will perform, as will
Jim Peterik
of the band
Survivor.
The eight-hour event will also feature a costume contest, an ’80s aerobics class, cooking demos, trivia and an appearance by
Claudia Wells
, who played
Marty McFly
‘s girlfriend Jennifer in
Back to the Future
. ’80s tribute bands round out the bill.
Tickets start at $99.80 for an all-day pass and are available via
TicketSpice
. You can also buy “add-ons,” like a meet-and-greet with Bach.
