Our final gig of 2025 is almost here! On Saturday the 29th of November Planet 80 will launch their all-out 80s Invasion of Bishops Waltham at the Jubilee Hall. Come and join us for a great night of classic 80s tunes and party the night away. Tickets are still available online from our events page or just turn up on the night. Walk-ins are welcome but please bring the correct cash as we may not have much change on the door. As pthere are no bar facilities, please feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks on the night. We look forward to seeing you there!

We love using our e-ticketing platform for our self-promoted gigs as it automates what was quite a labour intensive process for us, but we’ve had a few instances recently where people have not received their tickets in the email. Aside from the odd occasion where our emails have ended up in people’s junk & SPAM folders, the problem is almost always down to buyers mis-typing their email address. We do regularly check the logs for failed ticket emails and try to fix the problem in the background, but that usually means we have to send every individual ticket again by hand, which is quite a task if you’ve bought a lot of tickets in one go. Please always double-check that your email address is 100% correct before you finalise your purchase, and if you don’t receive your tickets by email within a few minutes contact us directly and we will try and find out what the problem is. We look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming events. Planet 80

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!

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!

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.
