“You can’t have a Totally Tubular Festival without The Tubes, so we’ve just added the iconic band from San Francisco to the lineup,” tour organizers said in a statement.
The Tubes will replace The Romantics on the tour, who had to drop out for medical reasons.

The Totally Tubular Festival will stop at Arizona Financial Theatre on July 3.
“This is a dream lineup for those who love the music of the early 1980’s, and for those who want to relive the days when life was — plain and simple — a total party,” festival Chief Party Officer Jon Pleeter, said in the initial tour announcement. “You wore Day-Glo, you wore parachute pants, you had big hair, perms and more perms, mullets, leg warmers, along with tons of buttons and lots of rubber bracelets. You wore sunglasses at night. The choruses were big, and the hooks were bigger — the party didn’t end.”
Tickets are now on sale at the Ticketmaster website.
