RADIO 80 performs the songs you love from THE 80's!
Philadelphia's Radio 80 looks back reverently on the energetic first-wave music of the 80s. Sure, some members of this band were sporting Bono-mullets back then, but that doesn't change the great tunes blasting from our car speakers. A decade of The Cars, Talking Heads, INXS, REM, Modern English, Ramones, The Cure, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, Bowie, Flock of Seagulls, The Clash … admit it - you're singing along already.
Radio 80 performs hit radio rock of this era – with a few deep cut surprises sprinkled in – bringing a dynamic eighties sound to fans of that generation. So dredge up your acid-wash jeans, grab a checkered bandana and book Radio 80 for a private event or party, outdoor festival, or 80s-themed club night. We know you'll be rocking right along with us in no time. As we were fond of saying, everybody Wang Chung tonight, right?

Oh, he'll stop the world and melt with you alright! Meet Michael, the esteemed lead singer of Radio 80. He can croon with the best of 'em, and we're not even sure he was alive in the 80s! But we don't sweat the little details. When it comes to belting out the best rock music from this classic era, audiences will find themselves in good hands. (Just duck when he swings that guitar around!)

Don’t accuse Sandman of “tickling the ivories" – he’s pounding out synth sounds on pristine plastic keys baby! A fan of ALMOST any type of live music, he' played in area bands since, well, the 80s! Roland, Korg, Sound City, Ensoniq, Yamaha, Fender – he’s also owned and sold more keyboards over the years than he’d prefer to admit. If you

Roland, Korg, Sound City, Ensoniq, Yamaha, Fender – he’s also owned and sold more keyboards over the years than he’d prefer to admit. If you're lucky you might catch him reminiscing about the one that got away, not a keyboard – a car. 1968 Roadrunner in cherry red. Go figure.

In exciting news, 2026 saw the return of Radio 80’s original founding lead guitarist and international man of mystery, Nitz. Radio 80 has missed his dazzling fretwork and gothic, baritone backups – we’re over the Killing Moon (or is it Under the Milkyway?) to have his precise guitar tones back in the mix.

Radio 80 has missed his dazzling fretwork and gothic, baritone backups – we’re over the Killing Moon (or is it Under the Milkyway?) to have his precise guitar tones back in the mix. Welcome back to your 80s roots, Nitz! One other thing – that's not eyeliner – it’s a badass tattoo on his lower eyelids. At least that’s what he tells his kids…
