This is a stacked new wave bill at Fiddlers Green Amphitheatre. Howard Jones brings the synthpop hits, Wang Chung and Modern English cover the moodier side of the era, and The English Beat swings things toward ska. Richard Blade, the longtime radio voice of 80s new wave, hosts.
Expect synths, hooks you already know the words to, and a crowd that grew up on this music. It plays like a well curated flashback rather than a nostalgia act going through the motions.
