Leave the adult responsibilities (and the kids) at home and rewind the clock. The Festival of Youth hits the Southwest this spring for a strictly 21+ retro music and nostalgia festival dedicated entirely to the golden eras of the 1980s and 1990s—touching down in DFW, Texas on April 9–10, 2027 and Tucson, Arizona at Kennedy Fiesta Park on April 16–17, 2027.

 

Anchored by massive outdoor concert stages, live throwback music performances, and video DJs spinning legendary synth-pop, rock anthems, and golden-era hip-hop, the festival delivers an authentic time-machine experience built for live music fans.

 

Beyond the concert stage, every pass includes 100% free-play in the massive vintage arcade tent meaning unlimited plays on classics like Pac-Man, Galaga, Street Fighter II, and retro console battle stations with zero quarters or tokens required. Lace up at the Throwback Neon Roller Disco (quad skate rentals included), explore the 80s & 90s Classic Car Showcase, and experience live theatrical stage showcases.

 

Fuel up in the vendor village featuring 30+ gourmet food trucks and signature smokehouse feasts, compete for cash prizes in the $1,000 Saturday Costume Showdown, or just relax with cold craft drinks on the festival lawn.

 

Free GA on-site parking is available at both tour stops. Valid government photo ID required at the gate (Strictly 21+). Early-bird Tier 1 passes are on sale now at https://umn.ticketspice.com/foy
