    Wang Chung, which plays Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida on June 22, 2024.
    SiriusXM's '80s on 8 station , hosted by most of the original MTV VJs, are always talking about '80s megashows taking place across the country, and Clearwater is finally getting one.

    Fourteen years after releasing an EP of the same name, Wang Chung finally headlines an "Abducted By The '80s nostalgia tour, featuring a handful of groups from the same era that may not be recognizable by name, but still have a few timeless anthems.


    Most of the acts have ended up on a number of quintessential playlists revolving around that decade, and Men With Hats ("Safety Dance") have even been parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic, so don't think you're going into this blind.

    Consider it a Gen-X version of the "Happy Together" tour.

    Tickets for the Abducted By The 80s concert with Wang Chung at Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall on Saturday, June 22 are still available and start at $40.
