Retro favourites Sister Sledge, Heaven 17 and Altered Images complete the line-up for the rejuvenated 2026 Let's Rock Southampton this summer.
The trio of bands join headliner Matt Goss with a packed set of Bros hits, plus ABC, Kim Wilde, Jason Donovan and T'Pau on stage.
The popular event, which turned Southampton Common into a sea of neon revellers for a decade from 2014, is set to take place at St Mary's Stadium for the first time on Saturday June 6 following a one year hiatus.

Sister Sledge ft. Sledgendary are still a force to be reckoned with! Specialising in blowing the roof off with energised renditions of their classic dance floor hits like Lost In Music and We Are Family, the ladies also journey through the spectrum of their musical inspirations, sometimes delving into jazz, soul and gospel music as well.
Family members Debbie Sledge, Camille Sledge, Thaddeus Sledge, David Sledge, and Tanya Tiet are joined by an ensemble of talented musicians.
80s Synth pop band Heaven 17 are these days made up of founding Human League member Martyn Ware (keyboards, drum machine, vocals) with vocalist Glenn Gregory. Expect hits including Let Me Go, Contenders and Hands Up To Heaven.
Scottish new wave / post-punk band Altered Images also found success in the early 1980s. Fronted by singer Clare Grogan, the group branched into mainstream pop music, having six UK top-40 hit singles and three top-30 albums from 1981 to 1983. Enjoy the likes of Happy Birthday, I Could be Happy, See Those Eyes and Don't Talk to Me About Love.
DJ and presenter Pat Sharp, best known for retro children's programme Fun House, will return to host Let's Rock Southampton, a massive day of retro anthems, legendary performers and an atmosphere like nowhere else.
It's the fabulous festival that fashion forgot and sees tens of thousands of retro loving revellers dress up in neon colours, shell suits, shoulder pads and other 80s fancy dress, with favourites over the years including Hi-De-Hi, Star Wars, Mario and Luigi, The A-Team, Freddie Mercury and Top Gun jumpsuits.
