What if you could hit rewind on life — just for one night — and relive the days when music videos ruled, mixed tapes mattered, and your weekend plans revolved around your favorite radio countdown? That’s exactly what happens when Electric Avenue – The MTV Experience takes the stage. On Friday, June 28, The Palace Theatre Stamford becomes the ultimate retro rewind destination, as Electric Avenue resurrects the soundtrack of a generation with staggering authenticity, high energy, and a whole lot of love for the 1980s. It’s Not a Cover Band. It’s a Time Machine. From the moment the first note hits, you’re there — back in the decade of cassette players, neon windbreakers, and shoulder pads. This isn’t nostalgia lite. It’s a full-on sonic revival. Electric Avenue meticulously recreates the sound, look, and spirit of New Wave and ‘80s radio pop with such precision; even major labels have mistaken their live recordings for the real thing. (Seriously — Warner Music once issued a takedown before realizing it wasn’t an original track.) Expect mega-hits from artists like Tears for Fears, Pat Benatar, The B-52s, Simple Minds, A-ha, and more — all performed with vintage instruments, authentic arrangements, and heart-thumping energy that brings the decade back to life. The MTV Era, Alive and Amplified An Electric Avenue show isn’t just about the music — it’s about how it felt. Coming home from school and blasting your favorite record. Cruising with the windows down. Friday nights at the movies. Finding your identity through the songs that raised you. It’s prom night and your first concert all over again. And this time, you’re singing every word. Want to Win Free Tickets? Thanks to Fairfield After Dark and The Palace Theatre Stamford, you can be there — for FREE. One lucky winner will score 2 tickets to see Electric Avenue on June 28. 👉 To enter, click here! https://www.fairfieldafterdark.com/win-great-prizes 🎧 Whether you lived through the decade or just wish you had, Electric Avenue – The MTV Experience delivers the ultimate ‘80s party, live and loud.

What if you could hit rewind on life — just for one night — and relive the days when music videos ruled, mixed tapes mattered, and your weekend plans revolved around your favorite radio countdown? That’s exactly what happens when Electric Avenue – The MTV Experience takes the stage. On Friday, June 28, The Palace Theatre Stamford becomes the ultimate retro rewind destination, as Electric Avenue resurrects the soundtrack of a generation with staggering authenticity, high energy, and a whole lot of love for the 1980s. It’s Not a Cover Band. It’s a Time Machine. From the moment the first note hits, you’re there — back in the decade of cassette players, neon windbreakers, and shoulder pads. This isn’t nostalgia lite. It’s a full-on sonic revival. Electric Avenue meticulously recreates the sound, look, and spirit of New Wave and ‘80s radio pop with such precision; even major labels have mistaken their live recordings for the real thing. (Seriously — Warner Music once issued a takedown before realizing it wasn’t an original track.) Expect mega-hits from artists like Tears for Fears, Pat Benatar, The B-52s, Simple Minds, A-ha, and more — all performed with vintage instruments, authentic arrangements, and heart-thumping energy that brings the decade back to life. The MTV Era, Alive and Amplified An Electric Avenue show isn’t just about the music — it’s about how it felt. Coming home from school and blasting your favorite record. Cruising with the windows down. Friday nights at the movies. Finding your identity through the songs that raised you. It’s prom night and your first concert all over again. And this time, you’re singing every word. Want to Win Free Tickets? Thanks to Fairfield After Dark and The Palace Theatre Stamford, you can be there — for FREE.
