The 1980s produced musical giants whose influence still echoes through every arena, club, and playlist today.
Icons of the 80’s celebrates three of the most legendary acts of that era — Duran Duran, The Cure, and The Police/Sting — each reimagined by elite tribute bands that deliver every note, nuance, and nostalgic rush of the originals.
Emerging from Birmingham, England, in the early ’80s, Duran Duran fused fashion, funk, and futuristic flair to define the look and sound of MTV’s golden age. With hits like Hungry Like the Wolf, Rio, The Reflex, and Girls on Film, they blended infectious pop hooks with driving rhythms, layered synths, and striking visuals that made them global icons. Their music videos were mini movies, their style was cutting-edge, and their sound was pure sophistication wrapped in danceable energy.
Double Duran brings that world back to life with unmatched authenticity and enthusiasm. Every detail — from the shimmering synth textures and funky bass lines to the sharp harmonies and dynamic stage presence — is recreated with passion and precision. The band embodies the charisma, the flair, and the excitement that made Duran Duran a household name. Whether it’s the glitz of Rio or the atmospheric pulse of Save a Prayer, Double Duran delivers an exhilarating experience that feels straight out of 1984.
Prepare for a show that’s equal parts style, substance, and irresistible fun — because with Double Duran, the party never ends.
Dark, dreamy, and defiantly unique, The Cure carved out their own space in music history. Led by the incomparable Robert Smith, they blurred the lines between post-punk, gothic rock, and pop brilliance. Their catalog moves effortlessly from the introspective depths of A Forest and Faith to the radiant optimism of Just Like Heaven and Friday I’m in Love. Every song feels personal — a journey through melancholy, joy, and everything in between.
The Gathering Gloom captures this emotional range with haunting authenticity. Their performances are atmospheric and immersive, filled with the shimmering guitars, lush keyboards, and echoing vocals that define The Cure’s iconic sound. More than a tribute, it’s a sonic and visual homage to one of the most emotionally resonant bands of all time.
The Gathering Gloom doesn’t just play The Cure’s music — they become The Cure for an evening, channeling the passion, mystique, and raw vulnerability that have kept fans spellbound for more than four decades. Expect to get lost in the haze of sound and light where nostalgia meets pure artistry.
Explosive, dynamic, and endlessly inventive — The Police were a perfect storm of rhythm, melody, and edge. Blending punk’s energy, reggae’s groove, and pop’s accessibility, the trio — Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland — created an unmistakable sound that dominated the airwaves with songs like Roxanne, Don’t Stand So Close to Me, Message in a Bottle, and Every Breath You Take.
When Sting embarked on his solo career, he brought the same intensity and artistry to a more sophisticated sound — delivering timeless hits like Fields of Gold, Englishman in New York, and If I Ever Lose My Faith in You.
Shiny Metal Boxes masterfully bridges both worlds — recreating the tight, high-energy chemistry of The Police and the elegance of Sting’s solo work. Every performance is a showcase of musicianship, groove, and charisma, featuring the signature syncopated rhythms, melodic basslines, and emotional depth that made these songs unforgettable.
From the reggae pulse of Walking on the Moon to the poetic grace of Fragile, Shiny Metal Boxes takes audiences on a journey through one of music’s most brilliant evolutions proving that great songs never go out of style.
