On 2026-07-25, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) will light up the historic Dreamland in Margate with a spellbinding open-air concert that blends iconic synth-pop anthems, evocative visuals, and the salty sea breeze of the Kent coast. The band will draw on decades of hits—from the pulsing energy of "Enola Gay" to the wistful melodies of "If You Leave"—delivering a set that balances nostalgia with fresh arrangements and moments of improvisation that thrill both longtime fans and new listeners. Set against Dreamland's retro fairground architecture and the glow of a coastal sunset, the show promises cinematic lighting, immersive sound, and an atmosphere of communal celebration as the audience moves between danceable grooves and quieter, emotive passages. With limited tickets available for this singular summer evening in Margate, the concert is poised to be one of the standout live music events of the season, offering a rare chance to experience OMD’s enduring catalogue in a truly picturesque seaside setting.
