Shine A Light: 1986

Get ready to party like it’s 1986, because Shine A Light is taking you straight back to the year of big hair, big hooks, and big anthems! This year’s show is totally tubular, packed with the greatest hits of ’86—think fist-pumpers, power ballads, and the kind of tracks that made your Walkman feel like magic. As always, more than 60 of the area’s best musicians are volunteering their time and talent to put on the raddest night of music in Delaware, all to support high-quality music education for kids in our community.

Every ticket helps us fund programs that change lives—seriously, that’s not just hype, that’s the real deal. So grab your crew, dust off your denim, and get ready for a night that’s gonna be totally choice.

Tickets drop at 12:01 AM on January 1, 2026, and they go faster than a Top Gun flyby—so don’t sleep on it!
