With over 2-hours of rock anthems and power ballads this Stadium-sized live music show pays homage to a whole era that taste forgot. Celebrating such legends as Whitesnake, Heart, Def Leppard, Kiss, and many, many more, all with a nostalgia backdrop of 80s Film themes and TV quotes. This Christmas special includes those spectacular 80s Christmas Classics we all know and love!

A 100% live show with lights, lasers, smoke, vintage audio and more animal print (faux, of course!) and spandex than is probably healthy. A very tongue-in-cheek, family friendly show with characters who never fail to get the house partying with rock fingers aloft.
