What kind of 80s music the stations play
"80s radio" covers a lot of ground. The stations here lean different ways, and the tags under each name give you a hint:
- 80s hits: the pop chart songs that still play at weddings and in supermarkets.
- New wave and synth-pop: synthesizers, drum machines and the British bands of the early 80s.
- 80s rock: arena rock, power ballads and hair metal.
- Dance, disco and Italo disco: club music from the late 70s through the 80s.
- 70s, 80s and 90s mixes: stations that move across three decades of hits.
How to find a station you like
Stations near the top of the list have "80s" in their name and play mostly music from that decade. Further down you will find mixed stations that add the 70s and 90s. If a station plays songs you skip, press Next station for a random pick.
Bitrate tells you about sound quality: 128 kbps sounds fine on a phone speaker, and 192 or 320 kbps sounds better on headphones. Stations in AAC sound good at lower bitrates than MP3.
Want something older? Oldies radio stations cover the 1950s to the 1970s.
80s radio: frequently asked questions
Is there a free 80s radio station online?
Yes. Every 80s station on this page is free to play in your browser, with no sign-up. Some play their own short ads or station IDs between songs.
What radio station plays 80s music?
Many local stations play some 80s songs as part of a "classic hits" mix. For 80s music all day, the internet stations at the top of this list play little else.
Can I see which song is playing?
Not yet. The song title is sent inside the stream, and browsers do not give it to web pages. Many stations show it on their own website: press Station website under the tuner while the station plays.
Do I need an app or an account?
No. The radio plays in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
Why does a station not play?
Internet stations go offline now and then, change their stream address, or block listeners outside their country. The list is checked before each update, but a stream can still fail. Press Next station to move on; the failed one is marked as offline until you reload the page.
Can I keep listening with my screen off?
Usually, yes. On most phones the audio keeps playing when you lock the screen, and you can stop it from the lock screen controls. Some phones pause web audio to save battery; keeping the browser tab open helps.
Where do the stations come from?
From Radio Browser, a free, community-run index of internet radio stations. We keep only stations that stream over a secure (https) link and answered a test connection when the list was last updated. The audio comes straight from each station to you; it never passes through this site.
