CoronaStock is bringing the 80s back to life with a private party that’s part car show, part concert, and all throwback. Kids In America takes the stage Wednesday, August 26, 2026, delivering the kind of night where every song feels like it’s coming straight out of a packed arena in 1987. This is adults-only, invitation-style, and built for anyone who wants their nostalgia served live and loud.
If you’re ready for synth hooks, power ballads, and the kind of singalongs that made the decade unforgettable, this is your night. Six musicians, zero backing tracks, and a setlist that covers everything from hair metal to hip hop.

About Kids In America
Kids In America is a six-piece 80s cover band built on years of live experience and a shared commitment to recreating the decade exactly as it sounded. Shannon Remley and Ray Hartsfield handle female and male lead vocals. Shannon’s powerhouse vocals and energy along with Ray’s charisma and showmanship make for the ultimate male-female lead vocal combo upfront. Roey Haviv plays bass guitar and bass synth, GK Via covers lead guitar and lead and background vocals, Rob Bowser on keyboards and synths, and Mike Graci handles drums and electronic percussion. This 6 piece very talented band plays everything live with no tracks, covering pop, hair metal, new wave, hip hop and dance with the kind of precision and accuracy that comes from over a thousand shows for just over a decade.
What You Will Hear
Expect the kind of night where you might hear “Livin’ on a Prayer” followed by “Push It,” then a detour into “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” before landing on “Pour Some Sugar on Me.” The setlist pulls from Whitney Houston, Journey, Guns N’ Roses, Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, and Bon Jovi, with room for Cyndi Lauper, Billy Idol, and The Cure. You’ll get the arena anthems, the dance floor essentials, and the synth-driven earworms that defined the decade. Every song is played live, with vocals that hit the way they did on MTV and hooks that still work in a room full of people who grew up on them.
