80s Revolution Band Turns Back the Clock on January 23 & 24 at West Chester University
Two Nights of High-Energy Hits, Neon Vibes, and Classic Throwbacks
West Chester, Pa. — There’s a new band in town—and they’re totally rad. West Chester University’s Criminal Justice Student Association (CJSA) is bringing the ultimate throwback experience to campus with 80s Revolution, a high-energy concert event celebrating one of the most iconic decades in music.
Part of the WCU CJSA Concert Series, 80s Revolution takes over the Madeline Wing Adler Theatre on Friday, January 23, and Saturday, January
24, 2026, from 8–10 p.m. Audience members can pick their 80s night and enjoy nonstop hits that defined the decade—from pop and rock to dance and new
wave.
Tickets are now $10 at https://wcupatix.com/organization-events, and free parking is available in WCU’s M Lot, making it easy for students, alumni, and local community members to join the fun. The event is also a fundraiser benefiting the Criminal Justice Student Association, with raffle tickets available the night of the show for exciting 80s-themed gift baskets.
Billed as the #1 party show band in America, 80s Revolution turns back time to an era filled with bright neon colors, innovative and iconic fashion, classic movies, and—most of all—the best music ever made. The band is known for mastering every genre the decade had to offer, delivering crowd-pleasing favorites from Madonna, Journey, Michael Jackson, Pat Benatar, Def Leppard, The Go-Go’s, Whitney Houston, Bon Jovi, Cher, and many more.
Featuring some of New Jersey’s top musicians—including Brian W. Silver, Kat Viksne, Eric Heiss, and Max Bolton—the group brings exceptional musical talent to the stage every performance. Powerhouse vocalists Gloria Carpenter, Chelsey Alyse, and Katie Joel lead the charge, with additional support from Laura Turk and Gianna Hodes, creating a dynamic, high-energy show that keeps audiences dancing all night long.
“This is more than a concert—it’s an experience,” said organizers from CJSA. “We wanted to create an event that brings students and the community together for a fun night out while supporting student programming. The 80s give us the perfect excuse to go big, loud, and nostalgic.”
So grab your leg warmers and leather jackets, tease your hair, spray on the Aqua Net, and get ready for a full-blown musical throwback.
