Oxford, AL – Fans of 80s music and cinema are in for a treat on Thursday, October 17th, as Electric Avenue brings their high-energy “80’s Movie Night” show to the Oxford Performing Arts Center (OPAC) at 7:00 PM. Following their popular “MTV Experience” in 2022, the band is back with a brand-new performance, highlighting the iconic songs that defined some of the biggest films from the decade.
The show promises a nostalgic journey through the 80s, with Electric Avenue performing hits from classic movies like Purple Rain, Footloose, Flashdance, and Top Gun. The event blends music and film memories, transporting attendees back to a time when movie soundtracks had audiences leaving theaters singing.
Electric Avenue’s show will offer more than just music—it’s an immersive experience bringing to life the fun and vibrancy of the 80s on the big screen. Expect to see references to iconic moments from films involving ghosts, aliens, boxers, fighter jets, and more. From dancin’ dirty in Dirty Dancing to time traveling in Back to the Future, this concert covers it all.
“This is an engaging and anthemic show that’s more fun than getting popcorn stuck in your braces,” the band says, promising an entertaining evening for both diehard fans of the 80s and newcomers alike. And for those looking to relive some teenage memories, they jokingly add, “…if you sneak off to the back row with your new (or old) crush, we won’t tell your mom!”
Whether you’re reliving your youth or discovering 80s classics for the first time, this event is perfect for anyone who loves the music and movies of the era. Don’t miss this opportunity to travel back in time—ask your parents to drop you off at OPAC for a night of nostalgic fun.
