It’s cool new wave vibes as Squeeze and Adam Ant come together to bring the best of ’80s pop to Ravinia!

Squeeze first burst onto the scene in 1978 with their self-titled debut, capturing the energy of the punk revolution while nodding to the catchy pop stylings of the ’60s British Invasion. That album introduced the hit “Take Me I’m Yours,” and the band followed with a string of UK chart favorites, including “Cool for Cats,” “Up the Junction,” “Pulling Mussels from a Shell,” “Black Coffee in Bed,” and “Labelled With Love.” By 1981, Squeeze had made a lasting impression in the U.S. with hits like “Tempted,” “Hourglass,” and “853-5937” from the acclaimed album East Side Story.

Adam Ant’s journey from London punk rebel to global pop icon spans nine albums and 22 chart-topping singles worldwide. His 1979 debut, Dirk Wears White Sox, became the first-ever No. 1 on the UK Independent Album Chart, launching a career defined by theatrical flair, infectious energy, and timeless hits that continue to resonate with fans around the globe.

Together, Squeeze and Adam Ant promise a high-energy celebration of new wave, punk, and pop, delivering the songs that defined a generation in a night of unforgettable music at Ravinia.
