Planet 80 have been rocking venues throughout the South East and South West since January 2016 but none of the band are strangers to entertaining crowds, having come together from various bands in the past. We cover a wide range of 80s music from artists such as Wham!, Aztec Camera, Duran Duran, Queen, Erasure, Huey Lewis, Gary Numan and many more.
Like many bands, we started playing in local pubs and clubs but these days we are often seen in much larger venues such as the Concorde Club and The White Horse Theatre in Seal Bay Holiday park where we have shared the stage with the likes of Go West, Black Lace and Sonia as part of their Big 80s Weekends. We also organise an annual outdoor mini-festival on Hayling Island.
As a self contained band we provide all our own equipment, PA system, lightshow and haze effects (where allowed) but we are flexible and adaptable to venue systems too as our sound engineer can liaise with your venue tech team.
Depending on the level of access to your venue, we usually require at least an hour to 90 minutes to get fully set up, depending on the amount of extras we bring. Once set up we have a sound check which can be 15-20 minutes so ideally we’d arrive in plenty of time to do all this before you open your doors to the audience.
Our set times can be varied to your requirements and we can provide background music before and after the show and during any intervals. We can also provide a live DJ in addition to the band (at extra cost) if you would like to extend the party into the late hours or to warm up the room before the main event.
