GRAB your leg warmers before you go go – the 1980s are back with a vengeance.

An outdoor concert will pay homage to the era of shell-suits and Dallas in East Park tomorrow.

The Human League, Bananarama, Belinda Carlisle, T'Pau and Go West are among those who will perform at the gig, in east Hull.

The stars will play some of the biggest hits of the decade, including China In Your Hands, Heaven Is A

Place On Earth, and Don't You Want Me?

More than 3,000 people are expected to attend the concert in the 120-acre park – which underwent a £10m makeover last year.

There will be entertainment by KCFM before the event and a firework finale.

Chris Bailey, event manager for IML Concerts which is hosting the event, said: "We are really pleased to be presenting this unique show for the first time at East Park and expect it to be a fabulous evening – just don't forget your dancing shoes.

"It will be a picnic-style concert so we encourage everyone to bring their own food and drink.

"There will also be catering outlets on site."

There will be on-site parking for all ticket-holders.

Access to the facility will be via the Holderness Gate only, and there will be stewards on-hand for directions.

The gates open at 5pm and the music starts at 7.30pm.

Tickets are on sale from IML Concerts on (01603) 660444 or
