Musician and actor Martin Kemp is set to perform a 1980s-themed DJ set at the Winter Gardens Blackpool in Lancashire on Saturday, March 14, 2026. The event aims to bring a nostalgic clubbing experience to the town centre during the late afternoon and early evening.
The Back to the 80s show is scheduled to run from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, providing a club atmosphere that finishes earlier in the night. The performance will feature popular hits from the decade, including synth-pop and dancefloor songs, and attendees are encouraged to wear fancy dress for the occasion.
Tickets for the show are priced between £22.95 and £25.95 through Live Republic. Kemp, a former member of the band Spandau Ballet, has noted that the atmosphere at these events is often euphoric as the crowd sings along to every word.
The appearance is expected to increase footfall for local bars, restaurants, and hotels during a mid-March weekend that is typically quiet. This event also serves as a lead-in to a larger 80s-themed festival planned for the venue later in the year.
