80's Mania is Europe's official 1980s multi-tribute reunion concert, with organisers declaring: "If you love the 80s - do not miss this show." Although, how long will that be the case with Brexit around the corner?

It features 25 chart-topping pop icons authentically recreated with live band and awesome dancers. They perform more than 35 smash-hits live, with tributes to Duran Duran, The Human League, Kim Wilde, Culture Club, Madonna, Wham!, Nena, Toni Basil, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Bananarama, Dead or Alive, Madness and many, many more.

More than 150 costumes are shown off, taking us back to the decade that fashion well and truly forgot in this fast-paced, high energy, feel good show together with the awesome Mania Band and Dance Troupe, complete with video screen projection, laser and lighting design.

And attendees are urged to arrive early as the party starts half an hour before with our 80s disco road show to get everyone in the mood.

With an ever-growing cult following and continued European success, 80's Mania has been touring the UK for the past five years and is now endorsed by ex-Top of the Pops, Radio 1 and Saturday Superstore presenter Mike Read.

A spokesperson said: "So, dig out your worst 80s fashions, if you dare - men too, complete with make up - and come and join us for the best 80s night out ever.

"We want to hear you singing and clapping along to your favourite 80s tunes, and ladies, dancing around your handbag is a must."
