80’s Artists Still Active & Touring in 2025

It has been over 35 years since the 80’s concluded.

No, I didn’t need to open this story like that but I just really wanted to. We have been debating for years about which decade heralded the greatest music and performers, and whilst the 80’s may be in the rear view mirror it’s still very much still thriving today. We’ve compiled a list of some absolute 80’s legends who are still making music and even touring the world in 2025. Whilst the majority of these acts have no Australian dates for a tour (typical) the fact they’re still actively touring fills us with hope they’ll make their way down under soon.
