Thomas Dolby & The Lost Toy People will take the stage together for the first time since 1988 when they lead the lineup for this summer's installment of the Totally Tubular Festival.

The 1980s celebration tour will also feature performances from other icons from the era including A Flock Of Seagulls, The Motels, The Producers, Animotion, The Escape Club, and Tommy Tutone.

Things will get underway on July 17th in Phoenix, AZ at the Celebrity Theatre, followed by stops in Denver, San Francisco, Anaheim, Hollywood, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, New Town, Washington DC, Atlantic City, New York, St. Petersburg, Louisville, and Huber Height before wrapping up in Aurora on August 16th.

The festival's creator Jon Pleeter shared his excitement about this summer's tour, "Totally Tubular Festival has clearly emerged in just two years as the market leader for all 80's tours in North America, not to mention Totally Tubular is hands down the best 80's party on the planet.

"For all of the fans of 80's new wave music, the Tubular circus is coming to town-we'll see you this summer."
