Dundee is set to host a major new 80s-themed music festival next summer as The Human League, ABC, and Big Country headline 80s Calling! at Slessor Gardens, the Courier has reported.
The one-day event will take place on Saturday, July 26, 2025, with tickets going on sale this Friday at 10am.
Leading the lineup are Don’t You Want Me hitmakers The Human League, who will be joined by iconic acts including ABC, The Christians, Big Country, Toyah, Altered Images, and T’Pau.
Speaking to The Courier, Liz Doogan-Hobbs MBE, CEO of organiser LHG Events, shared her excitement:
“We’re thrilled to announce yet another music offering to Dundee.
“We are certain 80s Calling! is going to prove a huge hit with fans who not only remember the artists the first time around but also newer fans who embrace the retro revival, or just want to enjoy top tunes in a spectacular summer setting.
“We hope to see as many of you there as possible and encourage you to dress your own take on 80s style and really embrace the spirit of the day. Bring on the neon, bring on the shades, and let’s have a party.”
Set in the heart of Dundee’s waterfront, the festival promises to draw music lovers from across the region to relive the energy of the 80s in a vibrant outdoor setting.
Tickets will be available online from Friday morning, with demand expected to be high for this celebration of iconic 80s sounds.
