The Dress Up Party

Big hair and bigger choruses. The Dress Up Party is a five-piece 80s rock show played in full costume, and everything comes off the stage live, with no backing tracks at all. It's loud, the way the decade's arena rock was meant to be. A male singer and a female singer split the lead, which lets the set jump from Bon Jovi and Mötley Crüe to Madonna and Cyndi Lauper without anyone faking a key. Only the biggest hits of the era make the list. If you're throwing an 80s theme night and want the crowd dressed up too, this band will match the effort. They're from Newcastle and travel nationwide.
