  Play Now [1:15:00]

August 30, 2018

On Monday, Sept. 3, three of the biggest names in '80s pop and new wave play the State Fair Grandstand: Boy George and Culture Club, the B-52s, and Tom Bailey of Thompson Twins. That's why this week, Jake Rudh plans to play nothing but those artists to get us in the proper time-traveling mood. From their hip underground days to bringing their cool vibes straight to the top of the charts, Jake will play a little something for everyone this Thursday night.
