🎵 MUSIC 🎵

The three DJs will be performing side by side from a stage within the main exhibition space, and each will be playing a carefully curated setlist dedicated to a specific genre of eighties classics.

💾 DJ 1: 80’s Top Of The Pops 🎶✨
Get ready for pure pop perfection! Big beats, bright vibes and feel-good energy from 80s icons like Madonna, George Michael, Cyndi Lauper, and Kylie Minogue. For the girls (and boys) that just wanna have fun!

💿 DJ 2: 80’s Alt/Indie Legends 🎸🕶️
For the rebels, the dreamers, and the ones who walk their own path. This channel is packed with indie anthems and alternative beats from The Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division, and more. Moody, melodic, and oh-so-iconic, it’s a trip through the era’s underground soundscapes.

🫧 DJ6: 80’s Power Ballad Sing-A-Long 🎤⚡️
Grab a hairbrush (or an air guitar) and prepare for full-body feels. This channel cranks up the emotional anthems from Bon Jovi, Journey, Queen, and all the icons who knew how to make a moment massive. Big voices, big hair, and even bigger choruses — it’s your chance to sing like nobody’s watching!
