📋About

Discovery Festival: 80S Calling! takes over Dundee's Slessor Gardens on July 25, 2026, for a Scottish celebration of the new-wave era. This special edition brings together five British legends who left their indelible mark on the eighties. Headlining, Tony Hadley, iconic voice of Spandau Ballet, brings his incomparable blue-eyed soul and sophisti-pop register, while Level 42 delivers their jazz-funk and jazz-fusion classics. The prestigious lineup also includes Jaki Graham, diva of British soul and dance-pop, Marc Almond, major figure of synth-pop and new romantic pioneer, as well as Haircut One Hundred, ambassadors of the bright funk sound of the 80s. Slessor Gardens, located in Dundee's waterfront heart, offers a spectacular setting for this nostalgic evening. The site's natural acoustics amplify every note, creating an immersive atmosphere where cross-generational hits resonate with renewed intensity. This one-day festival attracts both loyalists who grew up with these artists and youth discovering the musical legacy of the eighties. Discovery Festival represents an essential gathering for all lovers of sophisticated British pop.
