Eighties dance floor: DJ, disco ball and roller skaters
Imagen
The dance floor is the heart of the 80s party. A DJ playing the hits of the decade and a giant 120 cm disco ball set the mood from the very first track.
- Roller skate dancers in mirror and LED costumes gliding between the tables.
- Breakdance and street dance, the style that took off in that decade.
- DJ décor to dress the booth.
If the venue has a volume limit, a silent disco with wireless headphones lets guests keep dancing without disturbing anyone. For the big moment of the night, a short skating or breakdance set just before the dance floor opens.
80s karaoke, Sing Star and Rock Band
Imagen
Nothing brings a team together like singing the chorus of their teenage years. At the 80s themed event, guests make the music themselves:
- Professional karaoke with 80s songs, a top screen and microphones.
- Sing Star for team singing battles.
- Rock Band: drums, guitar and mic to form a band on a 4 × 2 m stage.
The karaoke measures 234 × 50 × 38 cm including the screen, fits in lifts and only needs one socket. The retro jukebox (160 × 66 × 42 cm) plays background music while guests arrive.
Dance machines and retro games at the 80s party

Between songs, guests compete on the games that filled the amusement arcades:
- Dance machines with staff for 3 hours; they can be branded with a custom counter or cabinet.
- Arcade machines with classic games.
- Giant Lite Brite, the classic glowing toy in XL size.
The machines fit in lifts and need a socket nearby.
If your client prefers a more relaxed atmosphere, with live music, flowers and workshops instead of arcade machines, take a look at the Hippie 60s themed event.

80s Party for Companies: the Retro Dinner Everyone Remembers
Time travel
An 80s party for companies works because it connects generations: veterans relive their youth and younger staff discover why those songs are still played. As a retro party for company dinners, it breaks down barriers between departments as soon as the first familiar chorus starts.
If you are looking for an 80s party in Barcelona or any other city, we set it up in hotels, halls or warehouses. Hotels and nightclubs can use it as a themed night to attract crowds, and town councils as a festival dance with music from the decade. And if your team is younger, we extend it to an 80s and 90s party so everyone has their song.
- Town festival dances: an 80s night in the square so the whole town sings and dances.
- Hotels and nightclubs: an 80s themed party to fill the room with a loyal, lively crowd.
- 80s and 90s party: two decades of hits for teams with very different ages.
- Retro company dinners: music, photocall and a best-look contest to close the year with nostalgia.
