We Heart The ’80s
iHeartMedia’s iHeart80s Party is coming to the SAP Center in San Jose on January 28, 2017, featuring live performances from New Kids on the Block, UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, Astro and Mickey, Colin Hay of Men At Work, Rick Astley, Starship, Eddie Money and Night Ranger. The show will be hosted once again by America’s Sweetheart, Martha Quinn, one of MTV’s original VJs. “The music of the ’80s defined a generation in America three decades ago — and it’s still driving pop culture today,” said John Sykes, President of iHeartMedia Entertainment Enterprises. “Last year’s iHeart80s Party sold out in minutes, showing the enduring popularity of ’80s artists and their music.”
Tom Poleman, President of National Programming Group for iHeartMedia commented, “Launching iHeart80s on one of our FM stations in San Francisco makes the Bay Area the ideal place to host this year’s show. This year’s incredible roster of performers is a perfect example of why the ’80s remain so popular, and we can’t wait to bring the iHeart80s Party to the Bay Area in 2017.”
Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, November 4, at 10am PT. Beginning Monday, December 26, iHeartRadio will launch a four-week nationwide promotion to give thousands of ’80s fans the opportunity to win a trip to San Jose to attend the iHeart80s Party. The promotion will run across more than 150 iHeartMedia Mainstream AC, Hot AC and Classic Hits stations.
