The Music
Arcade Orchestra faces the challenge of building the ultimate 80s set list, while aiming to deliver an unforgettable entertainment experience. And it’s a challenge we accept: we are hard at work creating epic “enhanced” versions of songs by Phil Collins, Simple Minds, Tears For Fears, Mr. Mister, Peter Gabriel, The Eurythmics, Cyndi Lauper, U2, A-Ha, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, TOTO, Journey, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Foreigner, Howard Jones, Prince, and many more.
Audiences will experience everything they know and love about these timeless songs, along with a captivating blend of orchestral elements, STIKYARD's inventive percussion, a choir, world-class band, and a guest artist lineup you’ll need to see to believe.
