Delorean Overdrive

Sunday August 16, 2026 12:00am - 12:30am PDT

POW Stage

Delorean Overdrive is a high-octane synthwave band that transports listeners straight to the neon-soaked streets of the 1980s. With pulsating beats, shimmering synths, robotic vocals and a nostalgic nod to retro-futurism, Delorean Overdrive delivers an electrifying experience that blends the past and future in perfect harmony. Their music captures the essence of a time when VHS tapes and arcade games ruled, driving through soundscapes inspired by classic sci-fi, horror films, and video games. Whether you’re cruising down memory lane or revving up for the future, Delorean Overdrive will take you on a sonic ride you won’t forget.
