If you have been waiting for a night out that delivers real dancing, real costuming, and a full band bringing the decade of disco and funk back to life, this is the show you have been circling on the calendar. On Friday, October 30, 2026, 70s Kids takes the stage at the Newberry Opera House in Newberry, South Carolina.
The Newberry Opera House is one of those rooms that makes a live performance feel different from the moment you walk in. With seating for roughly 400 guests inside a restored 19th-century theater, the sightlines are close, the acoustics are natural, and the whole setting turns a good show into something you will be talking about on the drive home. Getting a ticket early is a smart move.
Show Details
70s Kids performs at the Newberry Opera House, located at 1201 McKibben Street, Newberry, SC 29108, on Friday, October 30, 2026. Tickets are available through the Newberry Opera House website at newberryoperahouse.com/events/. Because this is an intimate venue that seats around 400 guests, popular touring acts tend to sell out, so securing your spot sooner rather than later is worth the few minutes it takes.
About 70s Kids
70s Kids is a six-piece dance band dedicated to the music of the 1970s, and they bring more than just the songs. Their live show is built around full costuming, props, and visual staging that puts you squarely in the decade from the moment the first note hits.
The band moves across disco, pop, rock, and yacht rock, drawing from artists like The Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Hall & Oates, Fleetwood Mac, the Commodores, Captain & Tennille, and Kool & The Gang. There is serious range here, and they lean into crowd participation to make the room part of the show.
The six members are Shannon Remley on lead vocals and dance, GK VIA on lead guitar, Ray Hartsfield on lead vocals and guitar, Rob Bowser on synths and keyboards, Doug Grabowski on bass guitar, and Mike Graci on drums and electronic sounds. Together they have built a show that travels to festivals, private events, and concert venues across the country.
What You Will Hear
Expect the kind of night where you might hear “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees and “Hot Stuff” by Donna Summer back to back, or a stretch of funk and soul pulling from “Brick House,” “Get Down on It,” and “Good Times.” The song list spans the full width of the 1970s, touching disco’s peak, the warm groove of funk, the rock radio staples of the era, and the easy sway of yacht rock. You might also hear “Dancing Queen,” “Le Freak,” “I Will Survive,” “Car Wash,” and “Play That Funky Music” woven in across the set. Whatever the exact order, the music is rooted entirely in one of the most stylistically diverse decades in popular music history.
About the Venue
The Newberry Opera House opened in 1881 and was extensively restored in the 1990s, and it has been hosting nationally touring musicians, comedians, and theatrical productions ever since. The auditorium seats approximately 400 to 430 guests, which means the staging is close and the sound fills the room the way it was meant to. Victorian architecture meets modern lighting and sound here, and the result is a venue that genuinely enhances a live performance rather than just hosting one. It sits in downtown Newberry within walking distance of restaurants and local shops, making it a natural anchor for an evening out.
Plan Your Night
The venue is in downtown Newberry, which means you have options for dinner or drinks before the show within walking distance. Arrive with some time to spare so you can find parking and settle in before 70s Kids takes the stage. Seating proximity matters in a room this size, so checking the seating chart when you purchase your tickets is worth doing.
