Gather your brat pack to celebrate one of the most outrageous decades – the 1980s – with the return of Roaring Nights on Saturday, Sept.14, from 6-10 p.m. at the Los Angeles Zoo. The wildly popular 21-and-up event invites guests to don their most radical neon and acid wash for an ‘80s dance party that’s as decadent as the decade. From totally tubular live music and an immersive silent disco to retro photo ops, a paint party, and special animal presentations, these nights will transport guests to the ultimate era of dance, music and big hair.

Flashback Heart Attack, one of SoCals most popular ‘80s tribute bands, will have revelers hungry like a wolf for more high voltage hits from this irrepressible decade, while DJ Johnny Hawks brings plenty of nostalgia to the dance floor with his mashup of post-disco beats. This event will also have full bars and food truck offerings for an additional fee. And, ‘80s attire is strongly encouraged. This event is for those ages 21-and-up. Tickets are $25 and $20 for GLAZA members.
