DODGE CITY — United Wireless Arena, managed by VenuWorks, is excited to announce the 'Rick Springfield: I Want My '80s Tour' will be coming to Dodge City on Friday, July 25 as part of the 2025 Dodge City Days Festival Celebration. 

The line up for the tour will consist of Paul Young, Wang Chung, John Waite and Rick Springfield! 

Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. on July 25 and the show will start at 7:00 p.m. 

Over the past four decades, Rick Springfield has worn many hats as an entertainer and performer. The creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, a Grammy winning singer, songwriter, and musician who has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” "I've Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody,” and “Human Touch.” 

He’s an accomplished actor who has starred opposite Meryl Streep in the feature film “Ricki and the Flash,” gave a chameleonic performance as the creepy Dr. Irving Pitlor in HBO’s prestige drama “True Detective,” earned great reviews for his portrayal of Lucifer on the CW hit “Supernatural” and most recently played the insane Pastor Charles on FX’s worldwide hit series “American Horror Story.” 

An author as well, both his candid 2010 memoir Late, Late at Night (which Rolling Stone named one of the 25 greatest rock memoirs of all time) and his 2014 comedic novel Magnificent Vibration earned rave reviews and spots on the New York Times Best Sellers’ list. 

In 2014, Springfield was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located around the corner from the first apartment he lived in when he first arrived in the U.S. from Australia in 1971. 

Springfield’s Sirius-XM radio show, Working Class DJ, is a huge hit and airs weekly on '80s on 8'. 

His new album “Automatic” is out now. Automatic is his first album of all new original material in five years. 

More information for Rick Springfield can be found at his website <a href="http://www.rickspringfield.com">www.rickspringfield.com</a>.

 Countless musicians of far lesser accomplishment have probably made similar statements regarding their own personal creative process, but when the confession comes from John Waite – whose been successfully writing, recording and performing some of the most listenable, enduring and appreciated popular music for more than 35 years – one cannot help but both recognize and marvel at the shimmering legacy of this British born rock star. 

With more live shows and new music in the offing, John Waite continues to forge his own singularly personal path, celebrating the present and engaged by the promise of the future. 

The story is far from over for the Lancaster, England-born rock star/balladeer/storyteller who was inspired onto his musical path by blues, soul and country along with a deep connection to the Celtic folk music of his homeland. 

More information for John Waite can be found at <a href="http://www.johnwaiteworldwide.com/">www.johnwaiteworldwide.com</a>.

 Wang Chung are an English new wave band, formed in London in 1980 by Nick Feldman, Jack Hues and Darren Costin. The name Wang Chung is Chinese (黃鐘, pinyin: huáng zhōng; Wade– Giles: huang chung), meaning "yellow bell" in English, and is the first note in the Chinese classical music scale. 

The band found their greatest success in the U.S., with five top 40 hits there, all charting between 1983 and 1987, including "Dance Hall Days" (No. 16 in 1984), "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" (No. 2 in 1986) and "Let's Go!" (No. 9 in 1987). 

More information for Wang Chung can be found at <a href="https://www.wangchung.com/">www.wangchung.com</a>.

 Paul Young’s ‘Every Time You Go Away’ hit number one in America in the summer of 1985, (shortly after his appearance at the historic Live Aid) and in any other unconquered countries too. It was and still is his biggest worldwide hit. 

More information for Paul Young can be found at <a href="https://paul-young.com/">www.paul-young.com</a>.
