80s kids 2 — lovingly referred to by those in the know as "80s kids 2: The Empire Strikes Back" — is a high-octane joyride through the best of 1980s synthpop — tied together with funny, moving stories about growing up in the 80s.
From the electrifying beats of Pet Shop Boys and New Order to the heart-on-the-sleeve melodies of OMD and Erasure, this show is a love letter to the decade of iconic anthems and underdog heroes.
