Totally Tubular Festival—the acclaimed multi-act ‘80s new wave extravaganza—returns in 2026 for a nationwide summer tour, bringing one of the most iconic eras in music back to life. After launching in 2024 and quickly establishing itself as one of the premier ‘80s-themed tours in North America, the festival continues its momentum with a powerhouse lineup of legendary artists.
This year’s tour features a rare reunion of Thomas Dolby & The Lost Toy People, performing together for the first time since 1988, as well as the original lineup of The Producers returning to a national U.S. tour for the first time in over 25 years. The lineup is rounded out by a collection of genre-defining acts whose music helped shape the sound and culture of the MTV generation.
From synth-driven anthems to new wave classics, these artists dominated airwaves and music television in the 1980s and continue to resonate with audiences today. Totally Tubular Festival delivers a high-energy, nostalgic experience that has quickly become a must-see event for fans of the era.

Tommy Tutone is a New Wave band, best known for its 1982 hit "867-5309/Jenny", which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Although it is usually referred to as a San Francisco band, it was actually based in Willits, California, at the time that "Jenny" was released. The song became so popular that people in the United States to this day dial this telephone number and ask for Jenny as a prank. Regarding the famous number, "We had people threatening to sue us. It was the Buffalo Chief of Police's daughter's number in New York," said frontman Tommy Heath. Although the band is frequently remembered as a one-hit wonder, it had another top-40 hit on the Hot 100 with "Angel Say No" in 1980, predating "Jenny" by a couple of years.
A common misconception is that Tommy Tutone is the name of the lead singer; it is actually the name of the band. Tommy Heath is the lead singer. The name of the band developed from its original name, Tommy and the Tu-tones, to merely Tommy Tutone.
