Adam Ant, Billy Idol, Echo & the Bunnymen, Gary Numan, Iggy Pop, Love and Rockets, Modern English and Siouxsie are among the 24 featured acts at the one-day music fest celebrating all things ‘80s.
Doc Martins, fishnets, fanny packs and black eyeliner are all listed as allowed items on the Cruel World website, exactly as they should be considering fashions from back in the day.
