Torremolinos turns back time for free 80’s bash

Torremolinos is slapping on the sweat bands and blue eyeshadow and gearing up for its third 80’s Afternoon Party on Saturday, July 25 at Plaza Pablo Ruiz Picasso, a free open-air event dedicated to 1980s music.

Free entry, live bands and retro vibes

Doors open at 7pm, with music kicking off the evening as soon as you arrive. Local group Voleon and 80s specialists Los Electroduentes will lead the entertainment, delivering covers and throwbacks that promise to get the square dancing. Expect the kind of belting sounds made famous by Madonna, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, Wham! and ABBA, all perfect tunes to have you dancing on a balmy summer evening in Spain. Organisers have also planned extra performances and a charity raffle throughout the night.

A charity night for a great cause

It’s not all about the nostalgia. Behind the party sits Emaus Obra de Amor (Emmaus, Work of Love), a charity that has run social soup kitchens across the province for three decades, since its founding in 1996. Its volunteers prepare meals daily for vulnerable residents. Proceeds from this year’s bar and raffle will go directly towards that work, helping the charity continue supporting families struggling to put food on the table. Torremolinos Town Hall and Malaga Provincial Council both back the initiative.

How can I attend the party?

Getting involved costs nothing just good vibes, money for the raffle and your dancing shoes. Admission is free, with no tickets or registration required, organisers welcome you from 7pm onwards. Drinks and food will be sold at affordable prices at an on-site bar, with all takings funnelled straight into Emaus’s charitable work.

Anyone fancying shoulder pads and a sing-a-long can just turn up at Plaza Pablo Ruiz Picasso Saturday, July 25 for a proper blast from the past. For more information visit the Torremolinos Town Hall website
