Destination Unknown - The raddest ‘80s new wave dance party bringing you your favorite retro futuristic anthems - returns to Red Light Cafe in Midtown!

If you just can’t get enough of the old new wave, join DJ Twitch and DJIT of TWIJIT, and party host extraordinaire MJ Lee, for "Destination Unknown", a deep dive into the glam trash, glossy deviance and fiercely flamboyant tracks that (re)defined ‘80s dance floors. Whether you’re a basket case or brain, a sporto, waistoid or dweebie, you’ll dance to the synthpop of the ruthlessly stylish New Romantics, the agitated disco-not-disco of post-punk and the beautiful misery of goth-rock.

Like, no duh, it’s gonna be so choice!
