The Electric Cars & Tragic Blonde Vacation

Fri, Jun 19th @ 7:00 pm 10:00 pm

Set your time circuits to 1980! On Friday, June 19, we’re bringing you a high-voltage double-header as The Electric Cars take the stage with special guests Tragic Blonde Vacation. This is a night dedicated to the neon-soaked sounds of synth-pop, new wave, and the powerhouse women of 80s rock.

The Lineup

  • Tragic Blonde Vacation (7:00 PM): Kicking off the night, this group delivers a high-energy tribute to the legendary women who defined the decade. Get ready to sing along to anthems from Pat Benatar, The Go-Go’s, Blondie, Heart, and more. It’s all the party hits you remember, performed with a modern rock edge.
  • The Electric Cars: Then, prepare to “Shake It Up” as the ultimate tribute to The Cars takes over. Faithfully recreating the magic of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, they’ll transport you back with classics like “Just What I Needed,” “My Best Friend’s Girl,” “Drive,” and “Let’s Go.” With authentic synth textures and those unmistakable guitar hooks, it’s a “Moving in Stereo” experience you won’t want to miss.
