Here at LA Revival, we love everything 80's, especially 80's music. Many of us at LA Revival grew up listening to the fantastic array of music the 80s had to offer us. Our shared passion for this incredible decade of music has brought us together and influenced us as artists and people in more ways then you can imagine.
We've made it our mission to create a show that provides your event with the infectious nostalgia you've been searching for. No matter the occasion, however great or small, we ensure your event will have the best and most professional entertainment that will have your guests talking about it for weeks to come.
With the incredible pop vibes of Spandau Ballet, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Eurasia & A-ha to the harder rocking hair metal sounds of Bon Jovi, Starship, Van Halen & Guns n' Roses, we guarantee there is something for everyone in our incredible mixes.
Our Music:
LA Revival 80s Band is an 80's musical spectacle that pays homage to many of your favourite bands from such a versatile decade. We have a variety of set ups to suit the needs and budget of your event. From Josh's incredible solo show to an all out full band 80's extravaganza, all of LA Revival's configurations seamlessly deliver your favourite 80's smash hits that you know and love so well. Our sets are non stop medleys, seamlessly blending a delicious cocktail of 80's bangers (Pina Coladas are definitely welcome). So pull out those brightly coloured sweatbands & leg warmers and maybe even join in with our choreography. Escape reality with us, we'll have you dancing on the ceiling!
Our Production:
At LA Revival, we tour our own lighting setup including moving lights, strobes, UV lights, lasers and even a smoke machine (as long as your venue will allow it). Our setup is completely digital so we are able to play as loud or as quietly as you need us to without compromising on the quality or energy of our sound. This works really well with venues that use a sound limiter and it also means our sound checks are efficient and won't take up too much time. It doesn't matter if you need us at Wembley or your aunties back garden in the marquee, LA Revival will provide you with a dazzling production with and a night to remember.
Our Promise:
With tonnes of experience between the whole team, we've had the privilege of performing in many prestigious venues world wide including festivals, UK & International tours, countless theatre venues and many many more. We can guarantee LA Revival will deliver you a high end quality act paired with a professional and friendly attitude.
Josh’s Solo Show:
Looking for some high energy professional entertainment for your event or party? Want something to wow your guests with but don't have space for a full band? Then look no further. LA Revival presents Josh Tye's Solo Show.
Josh brings over more than ten years of experience, extraordinary vocals, outstanding guitar skills and fabulous dance moves to perform his incredible solo show here at LA Revival. He is a former Offie nominated actor/musician hailing from South Yorkshire. Josh exhibited great musical talent and a desire to perform from an early age. He went on to train at the prestigious Urdang Academy in London, graduating with First class BA Hons in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre.
Since then, Josh has performed as an actor, singer, dancer and actor-musician with many leading UK & international touring theatre shows, and West End credits. Following that, Josh went on to appear in bands where he sang and played at several events across the UK and as a guest entertainment artist for multiple cruise liners. During this period, Josh has honed his ability and passion for playing 80's music and now finds himself as an integral role here at LA Revival.
Josh's solo show is comprised of his classic 80's vocals, screaming guitar solos and fantastic choreography. Mixed in with our amazing custom built backing tracks, Josh's show is the original spectacle created by and for the LA Revival brand.
Josh's solo show is the closest thing you will get to a full band sound with only one man present on stage. If you are limited to space at your venue, Josh is able to give you a full show experience by himself that will leave your audiences stunned. He also has no problem filling larger theatre style venues or bigger spaces. So no matter the shape or size of your venue, Josh is ready to go.
Josh's full solo show is made up of 2 x 45 minute sets.

The Royal Albert Hall
We are not ashamed to say we are partial to a few 80's bangers.
Josh has appeared in many bands, singing and playing for events across the whole of the UK. Whilst building an impressive career in theatre, he has also succeeded sessioning as a musician in numerous bands including very established corporate bands, pit bands in London's West End and as a solo artist.
Our favourite type of gigs are the one's where the audience are ready for a good time.
We request a two-hour setup period. We are capable of completing our setup in a shorter timeframe but we prefer to allocate more time than necessary as a contingency for dealing with potential logistical/technical problems. Factors such as the absence of a dressing room, limited access to the stage, or inadequate parking not close to the load in door can contribute to delays. Ensuring these logistical details are addressed before the day of our performance will everything runs smoothly on the day.
We perform 2 x 45 minute sets and the latest we will finish is midnight.
If we are performing outdoors at your event, it is essential that you supply a waterproof covering, including a roof, back, and sides, to shield us from any adverse weather conditions. The roof must extend over the front of the stage to safeguard our equipment. Please make sure that our intended performance area is both level and firm.
The short answer is no unfortunately.
Whilst our artists are talented enough to do so, due to the manner of how our productions are run, we're unable to take requests. Our sets are none stop, no gap medleys that have been pre rehearsed and perfected over many years with hours of practice. As a result, slotting in a new song is technically difficult and time consuming. However we can assure you that you will enjoy the show that we have prepared for you. Imagine our show as a pre-rehearsed stadium spectacle rather than a typical wedding band performance.

Excellent with high energy.
