The Dark Eighties Dance Party

The Dark Eighties Dance Party is finally making its Tampa debut at The Orpheum!

After years of packing dance floors in cities like Vancouver, London, Berlin, New York, Toronto, and even Australia and New Zealand, this internationally loved event is bringing its signature dark atmosphere to Florida.

Forget the typical '80s dance party - this night dives deep into the darker side of the decade. Expect an unforgettable mix of goth, post-punk, darkwave, industrial, EBM, synth-pop, new romantic, minimal wave, underground favorites, and cult '80s classics that defined an era.

The playlist features legendary artists like The Cure, Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, New Order, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Gary Numan, Killing Joke, and many more, along with a few modern goth and darkwave tracks to keep things fresh.

Dress code? There isn't one - but half the fun is dressing for the occasion. Whether you go full goth, embrace your favorite '80s look, or create something completely your own, you'll fit right in.
