Ok so we know it’s been a bit quiet and we definitely don’t want you to think we’ve disappeared, we’re just having some well-earned downtime over the summer. We will be back soon though – our next epic gig will be on Hayling Island on the 8th of August at the HICCA, so check out our events calendar and get the date (and your tickets) in your diary. We’re already looking forward to seeing you all again!

Tonight’s gig in Botley Market Hall is definitely on. An earlier power cut led us to believe that we would have to cancel but that has now been resolved so we will be performing tonight as planned.

Wow! We are ten, yes TEN years old today and what a ride it’s been. From squeezing into pubs to playing some epic stages, surviving COVID and welcoming new additions to the line up. But throughout it all, it’s YOU our followers that make us want to do what we do…
Here’s to the next ten years!!

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

With only one week to go, ticket sales for the Second Encounter at Colbury are at maximum warp… If you want to be part of the next classic eighties away mission get your phasers on stun and your tickets ready for the transporter room and we will see you down on the surface at Colbury Memorial Hall .. Make it so!

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!
