Classic 80s Rock & Pop
If you’ve been sitting on the fence about tickets for May the 4th you need to jump off pretty quick as there were just 36 tickets left as of this morning with only six weeks to go! Don’t leave it too late, head to our event page now because when they’re gone they’re gone…
Those of you following our calendar will know that we’ve reluctantly had to cancel a couple of gigs recently because one of our band members has been out of action. Thankfully though, it’s all good news and he’s now on the mend so all being well, we’re hoping to be back out on the road in May. If you are holding tickets for one of our upcoming gigs you can be assured we will be keeping you informed and we’re looking forward to seeing all of you again as soon as we can. All the best – Planet 80!
Tickets have just gone live for our MASSIVE event at the Haying Island Community Centre on the 8th of November with our very special guests Ghost in the Machine. Check out our events page for details and to buy tickets…
We’ve been back in the rehearsal room through Jan and Feb getting some new songs ready for 2025 that we’re sure you’re going to love, but there are so many great tunes from the 80s we can’t do them all. What we’d love to know from each of you is what’s the one big track that gets you on your feet every time? The first person to name any of the new songs we’re currently learning will get a free Planet 80 T-shirt at the next gig they come to!
Our Spring & Summer gigs have gone on sale and tickets are already selling fast! Grab your tickets now from our events page to be sure you don’t miss out. More to come later in the year so stay tuned…
We are super excited to announce that we will be headlining Friday night on the Big Top stage at the Vanlife and Overlander Celebration as part of their 80’s and 90’s themed weekend on the 25th of July!
Get ready for a fun-filled, nostalgia-packed weekend bursting with retro vibes, great entertainment, and plenty of laughs. We’re expecting to see some epic outfits on the day—think neon, legwarmers, grunge, and all things throwback! Whether you’re channeling your inner rockstar or rocking classic 80s and 90s style, it’s going to be a weekend to remember.
Check out the Vanlife and Overlander event website for full details tickets.
We’re planning some great gigs for 2025. After the success of our self-promoted events we are looking to do more this year in addition to agent and venue bookings so stay tuned to the website and social feeds to be the first to know when tickets go on sale. We’re back in the rehearsal room too through Jan & Feb to work on some new material, so we’re looking forward to seeing you all soon when we’re back on the road.
Tonight’s the night! We are back at Botley Market Hall again for another great evening of 80s music to entertain you. Here’s just a few reminders to make sure you have a great evening…
There is very limited parking at the Market Hall itself but there is a large car park behind the Dolphin pub next door. However be aware that restrictions apply to this car park so if you are going to be longer than 3 hours you will need to register your car in the pub, so maybe grab a drink in there first! There is also a large, unrestricted public car park about 5 minutes walk from the venue on Mortimer Road.
As before, there is no bar at the venue itself so feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks. There’s a Co-Op directly opposite the venue if you forget so you’ll be able to stock up there beforehand and during the interval. We can also recommend the CrackleRock tap room which does a great range of take-out beers. Ideally bring cans as broken glass on the dancefloor is never fun.
Tickets are almost sold out but there may be some limited walk-in tickets available on the door. However, to avoid disappointment we’d suggest getting them before you arrive as we expect to sell out like last time… Doors will open at 7PM and we’ll see you on stage at 8 so here’s to another great show 
We’re less than a week away from our return to Botley Market Hall on the 26th of October and only a few tickets remain for the event. There definitely won’t be any more – when they are gone they are gone! Order direct from the events page on our website – Don’t miss out…
We’re looking forward to seeing you all tonight at the HICCA. If you still haven’t bought tickets that’s fine, you can still get them online right up to 9PM tonight. We don’t have the facility to take card payments or cash on the door tonight, so please make sure if you’re turning up without a ticket already that you have your phone and card details with you and one of our team will help you out. Tickets are delivered instantly to your phone, so you could buy them on the way or while you’re in the queue but please don’t turn up with cash as we’re not able to give change. Thanks and see you tonight!
