Totally Tubular Festival 2026 Brings Thomas Dolby to SAHARA Las Vegas

The Lineup, July 25

Seven acts. A Flock Of Seagulls still has “I Ran.” The Motels still have “Only The Lonely.” Animotion still has “Obsession.” Tommy Tutone has exactly one song everyone knows, and that song will get louder than anything else that night.

The Producers on a national coast-to-coast run with their original lineup is the detail the 80s diehards have been waiting on.

Festival creator Jon Pleeter said: “Totally Tubular Festival has clearly emerged in just two years as the market leader for all 80's tours in North America.” The 2026 booking follows a strong holiday run in the Northeast and now expands to 15 markets nationwide.

SAHARA Las Vegas, North Strip

A multi-act festival format with 80s MTV acts fits the SAHARA room better than a single headliner would. The crowd here is not the same crowd lining up for a residency at Encore Theater or a single-night arena play at T-Mobile Arena.

Tickets go on sale through standard national ticketing platforms on April 24. The Totally Tubular Festival tour page has the full routing if you want to compare dates or prices across markets.
