Wang Chung will elevate the nostalgia with hits such as “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” and “Dance Hall Days,” aiming to get the audience dancing in the aisles. Completing this incredible lineup, John Cafferty, renowned for his work with the Beaver Brown Band and favorites like “On the Dark Side,” will bring his rock vigor to the stage.

Tickets for Rick Springfield’s “I Want My ’80s Tour” are already generating buzz, with presales beginning soon to meet what is expected to be substantial demand.
