Book of Love: 40th Anniversary Tour
With DJ Shindog (New Wave City)

Step back into the sounds and atmosphere of classic synth-pop and new wave as Book of Love celebrates four decades of music with the 40th Anniversary Tour. On Friday, January 15, 2027, fans can gather at The Chapel in San Francisco for a special evening celebrating the band’s enduring influence and unmistakable electronic sound.

Book of Love emerged from New York’s vibrant early-1980s new wave scene and quickly established a distinctive identity built around synthesizers, drum machines, melodic hooks, and playful yet emotionally resonant songwriting. Over the years, the group has earned a devoted following among fans of alternative dance, synth-pop, and new wave, with music that continues to inspire listeners and fill dance floors across generations.

The 40th Anniversary Tour is an opportunity to experience that legacy in a live setting. Whether you have been listening since the band’s early releases or discovered its music through the enduring popularity of new wave and electronic pop, this anniversary celebration offers a chance to revisit the songs and sounds that helped define an era. Expect an evening filled with nostalgic favorites, electronic textures, infectious rhythms, and the energy of a crowd brought together by a shared appreciation for timeless alternative music.

Adding to the night’s atmosphere is DJ Shindog of New Wave City, whose deep connection to the Bay Area’s new wave community makes for a fitting addition to this special anniversary event. The DJ set will help set the tone for an evening dedicated to the music, style, and culture of the new wave era.

The event takes place at The Chapel in San Francisco, California, with doors opening at 7:30 PM and the show beginning at 8:30 PM on Friday, January 15.

Gather your friends, embrace the retro spirit, and get ready for an unforgettable night of synths, beats, melodies, and new wave nostalgia. Join Book of Love and DJ Shindog for a celebration 40 years in the making.
