BBC Radio 2’s Sounds of the 80s show will be broadcast live from the Regent Theatre in Stoke-on-Trent next month.
For one night only, Gary Davies will present his show between 8pm and 10pm playing 80s classics and two specially curated Mastermixes on Saturday 3rd December.
The night will also feature live performances from Clare Grogan and Holly Johnson.
Gary Davies says: “From Kate Bush to Madonna, Depeche Mode to Duran Duran, the 1980s was the golden age for music. I’ve had a blast sharing my 80s passion with Radio 2 listeners over the last five years and now can’t wait to bring the radio show live to Stoke-on-Trent.
“So if you’re an 80s music fan put on your statement T-shirt and leg warmers and join us for what is going to be an 80s party to remember!”
Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2, says: “I’m delighted that we’re taking Radio 2’s Sounds of the 80 to Stoke-on-Trent for this unique live broadcast. What a joy for the fans of the show to experience Gary Davies doing what he does best and it’s fantastic he’ll be joined by two of that decade’s best-loved musicians, Clare Grogan and Holly Johnson. I look forward to a night celebrating the 80s classics we all know and love.”
