Howard Jones, one of the defining figures of '80s synth-pop music, helped usher in the new techno sound that transformed pop music. His innovative use of synthesizers, loops and samples complemented his captivating melodies, hooks and lyrics. Joining him on stage is Nick Beggs, formerly of Kajagoogoo.

With its suave style and sophisticated sound, ABC helped define the new wave image of the era. Thanks to its collection of danceable hits, the band's music videos were in heavy rotation on MTV and in clubs everywhere. Today, Martin Fry's voice is as fresh as ever as he takes you on a journey back in time.

Special guest Richard Blade kicks things off as the evening's MC. The renowned DJ and radio personality was the voice of the '80s and recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
