Tickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday, March 13 at Ticketmaster.com and the Rose Music Center Box Office.

BRIAN SETZER: “It’s good to be healthy and strong again. There’s something about the unique sound of The Stray Cats that keeps drawing me in. The Gretsch guitar, the acoustic bass, and the stand-up drums still sound pure and fresh today. Come on out and have some fun with us this summer.”

LEE ROCKER: “The Stray Cats are back and ready to blast off! It’s an amazing feeling to join up with Brian and Slim, hit the stage and Rock across America. No one can do it like us Cats, nobody comes close”

SLIM JIM PHANTOM: “With The Stray Cats, there’s always some extra magic around the summertime shows. It’s the perfect time for the Cats & Kittens to get dolled up, put the top down & cruise to the greatest Rockabilly show on earth!”

Last year, the iconic multi-million selling band released two new tracks via Surfdog Records:  the loud, upbeat “Stampede” which is unmistakably The STRAY CATS and their cover of Eddie Cochran’s “Teenage Heaven.”  These songs mark the first new music in six years, listen HERE.  Both “Stampede” and “Teenage Heaven” were produced by The Stray Cats, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, and recorded at The Terrarium in Minneapolis, MN & Laguna Sound in Laguna Beach, CA. “Stampede” was written by Brian Setzer, Peter B. Antonio, Wally Zober, Bert Salmirs, and Mike Himelstein, while “Teenage Heaven” was penned by Jerry Capehart and Eddie Cochran.

ABOUT THE STRAY CATS:

THE STRAY CATS, the band that put Rockabilly music back on the record charts in the early ’80s, scored several big hits on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to a striking visual 1950’s style brought “up to date” with exaggerated pompadours and colorful tattoos and as well as genuine musical chops that evoked the best players of rockabilly’s original heyday. Formed by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer, upright bass player Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom in the Long Island town of Massapequa, NY, in 1979, the trio shared a love for Rockabilly music. After banging around New York for a few months, in the summer of 1980, and seeing a pompadoured kid on the cover of UK magazine NME, they hopped a plane to London where a rockabilly revival movement was just beginning to emerge. Their massive hits and videos include “Runaway Boys,” “Rock This Town,” “Stray Cat Strut” “(She’s) Sexy + 17,” and “I Won’t Stand in Your Way.”

Totally Tubular Festival 2026 at Rose Music Center!

TOTALLY TUBULAR FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2026 CROSS-COUNTRY SUMMER TOUR

FEATURING

THOMAS DOLBY & THE LOST TOY PEOPLE, A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS, THE MOTELS, THE PRODUCERS, ANIMOTION, THE ESCAPE CLUB, AND TOMMY TUTONE

ROSE MUSIC CENTER AT THE HEIGHTS

SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 2026

Tickets On Sale Friday, April 24 at 10AM

HUBER HEIGHTS, OH (4/20/2026) – TOTALLY TUBULAR FESTIVAL, the acclaimed multi-act ‘80’s new wave extravaganza which originated in 2024, returns for a 2026 U.S. summer tour including a stop in Huber Heights, OH for a performance at Rose Music Center on Saturday, August 15. The colorful lineup features Thomas Dolby & The Lost Toy People, A Flock Of Seagulls, The Motels, The Producers, Animotion, The Escape Club, and Tommy Tutone.

Tickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday, April 24 at Ticketmaster.com and the Rose Music Center Box Office.

This will be the first time Thomas Dolby & The Lost Toy People have performed together since 1988; their last show was at the Rose Bowl supporting Depeche Mode.  This will also be the first time in over 25 years that The Producers (original lineup) will tour the US nationally coast to coast.

The 2026 tour comes on the heels of a hugely successful holiday tour of the Northeast.  This year’s trek will hit 15 markets, including Phoenix, Denver, San Francisco, Anaheim, Hollywood, Las Vegas, New Town, ND, Washington, DC, Atlantic City, New York City, Louisville, St. Petersburg, Huber Heights, OH, and Aurora, IL with more dates to be announced.

The artists performing at this year’s TOTALLY TUBULAR FESTIVAL exploded in the pop culture zeitgeist in the 1980’s thanks mainly to the high rotation of their music videos on MTV. These artists have enjoyed a steady rise in popularity in recent years, with their music having a lasting impact.

“Totally Tubular Festival has clearly emerged in just two years as the market leader for all 80’s tours in North America, not to mention Totally Tubular is hands down the best 80’s party on the planet,” says Jon Pleeter, the festival’s creator. “For all of the fans of 80’s new wave music, the Tubular circus is coming to town—we’ll see you this summer.”

“The current 80s music revival is more than just a walk down memory lane for those of us that were actually there. Because those born after the 80s are discovering the treasure trove of fresh musical ideas that exploded onto the scene in the heyday of MTV and KROQ. And the huge influence we had on everything that came after.” –Thomas Dolby

“The Totally Tubular Festival invites the audience into a unique experience with hitmakers from the 80s. Every artist on the bill brings hit songs that spark fond memories. After the show, fans tell us stories of where they were and what they were doing when they first heard the song ‘Obsession.’ Then they introduce us to the next generation—the sons and daughters they brought to the show. The Totally Tubular Festival is a wonderful, shared experience for both the audience and the artists.” –Bill Wadhams, Animotion

“The 80s gave us some great songs that stand the test of time. It’s great to play to audiences, young and old who sing the words along with us.” –Trevor Steel, The Escape Club

“I can’t tell you how many multigenerational families come to see us play on a fairly regular basis. It’s pretty encouraging when the kids of the folks you played for in the 80s are seriously into your music and sharing it with their friends. Sure, it’s nostalgic for some people, but there’s nothing wrong with that because what they experienced in their youth was authentic and groundbreaking.” –The Producers

“1980’s music = Fun.  It’s all about the catchy melodies, feel-good nature of the music, fun quirky lyrics, and never taking oneself too seriously. Whether it was Pop, Metal, New Wave, Country, etc., 80’s music was about having fun. Just look at the 80’s fashions. 80’s music was also produced at the peak of creative analog mixing. It has a warmth, power, and freshness to it; that has since been replaced with conformity.” –Jimmy James, Tommy Tutone

Praise for TOTALLY TUBULAR FESTIVAL:

“As if in a DeLorean, Totally Tubular took us back to the ’80s on Tuesday… Some of these ’80s hit songs are so woven into the fabric of our lives, fans seemed ecstatic to get the chance to hear and see these songs performed firsthand.’” –Andrew Sherman, Dallas Observer, 7/10/24

“The Totally Tubular Festival on Friday, July 26 at the Meadow Brook Amphitheatre was a trip in the Way Back Machine, a nearly five-and-a-half-hour exercise in unabashed and unapologetic nostalgia, 80s variety.” –Gary Graff, The Oakland Press, 7/27/24

“…one glorious night of ’80’s (synth) pop ecstasy.” –Kevin Keating, SF Bay Area Concerts, 7/1/24

“The Totally Tubular Festival really connected with its audience at The Anthem…the festival was bursting with personality.” –Mickey McCarter, ParklifeDC, 7/18/24

“With the venue lights emulating pink and blue neon lights and vintage tunes blaring, the amphitheater transformed into a time machine, whisking us back to an era of big hair, synth-pop, and infectious energy.” –Jessie Fuentes, Finding Connecticut, 7/22/24

WITH ADAM ANT AND HAIRCUT 100

ROSE MUSIC CENTER AT THE HEIGHTS

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2026

Tickets On Sale Friday, May 8 at 10AM

HUBER HEIGHTS, OH (5/5/2026) – This Fall, Squeeze return to North America for a major tour with Adam Ant and Haircut 100, bringing one of the UK’s most beloved songbooks back across the Atlantic at a moment of renewed creative momentum. The 2026 tour includes a stop in Huber Heights, OH for a performance at Rose Music Center on Friday, September 4.

Tickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday, May 8 at Ticketmaster.com and the Rose Music Center Box Office.

Marking 50 years together, Squeeze’s new album Trixies is both a revelation and a full-circle moment. Drawn from songs Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook first wrote as teenagers in 1974, the record reimagines a lost “concept album” set inside a fictional nightclub—complete with vivid characters, shadowy storylines, and the sharp observational detail that would later define their work. Once shelved due to youthful limitations, these songs have now been fully realized decades later, capturing the raw spark of their earliest collaboration with the confidence and craft of seasoned masters. This precocious collection of songs – under the guiding production hand of Squeeze’s bassist Owen Biddle (The Roots, John Legend, Al Green) – finally gets to enjoy its moment in the spotlight.

Praise for Trixies positions Squeeze at a rare creative peak, with SPIN calling it “the duo’s personal masterpiece” and marveling at “the ambition” and “a swathe of great moments.” FLOOD hails Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook as “one of the great songwriting duos of their time,” while Brooklyn Vegan notes that the album captures their signature style already fully formed—“complex melodies that nonetheless sound effortless” and “a youthful energy…that marks Squeeze’s best records.” Elsewhere, SPILL calls it “a brilliant step back in time” that still feels strikingly current, and PopMatters praises its “immersive” world, concluding that Trixies proves the band “were always destined to be formidable artists.”

Squeeze’s enduring appeal, from classics like “Up The Junction,” “Tempted,” and “Cool For Cats” to a catalog embraced by artists as wide-ranging as Erykah Badu and The Shins, their songwriting has long bridged generations. In recent years, a revitalized lineup has transformed that legacy into a live show widely regarded as one of the strongest of their career—dynamic, sharp, and newly resonant with younger audiences discovering the band through streaming.

With Trixies sparking a fresh wave of creativity—and more new material already waiting in the wings—Squeeze step into this North American run not as a legacy act, but as a band in a genuine late-period surge.

ABOUT ADAM ANT

Adam Ant is one of the defining figures of new wave, rising to fame in the early ’80s with Adam & The Ants and a string of era-defining hits including “Antmusic,” “Stand and Deliver,” and “Prince Charming.” Blending Burundi-influenced rhythms with glam swagger and punk energy, he became a central figure of the MTV generation, later achieving solo success with “Goody Two Shoes,” which cemented his status in the U.S.

With a career spanning over four decades, Ant’s influence extends across music and culture—impacting artists from alternative rock to industrial, while also building a parallel career as an actor. His ANTMUSIC tour celebrates that legacy, drawing from every era of his catalog and reaffirming his place as one of pop’s most distinctive and enduring performers.

ABOUT HAIRCUT 100

Haircut 100 are a British pop group formed in 1980 in Beckenham, London, led by frontman Nick Heyward alongside Les Nemes and Graham Jones. Rising quickly in the early ’80s, they became one of the era’s defining pop acts with four UK Top 10 singles—including “Love Plus One,” “Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl),” “Fantastic Day,” and “Nobody’s Fool”—and their platinum-selling debut album Pelican West.

After an initial burst of chart success and international touring, the band split in 1983 before reuniting decades later for a series of celebrated live performances. In recent years, Haircut 100 have returned to the stage and studio, reconnecting with audiences across generations while continuing to build on their bright, melodic legacy, with new material and their first album in over 40 years, Boxing The Compass, on the horizon.
