See the tour dates and artist quotes below.  Tickets will go on sale nationally on Friday, April 24 (10am local time).   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 TOTALLY TUBULAR FESTIVAL 2026 shows are:
