Missing Persons Brought the '80s Back to Life in DTLA – July 19, 2025 Missing Persons absolutely killed it at Pershing Square this weekend. They opened with “Mental Hopscotch,” and from the first beat, the crowd was on its feet, dancing like it was 1982 all over again. Dale Bozzio sounded amazing—her voice still has that sharp, totally unique tone that made her a new wave icon back in the MTV days. They played all the hits: “Destination Unknown,” “Words,” “Walking in L.A.,” and “Ain’t None of Your Business,” plus a killer version of The Doors' “Hello, I Love You,” which they originally covered on their 1984 album Rhyme & Reason. The whole set felt super tight and fun, and Dale had great energy throughout—she was clearly having a blast up there. The weather was perfect—classic SoCal sunshine—and the downtown L.A. backdrop made it feel even more surreal, especially when they launched into “Walking in L.A.” People were singing along, dancing, and just vibing hard. You could feel the love for the band in the air—tons of old-school fans (like me!) and even some younger folks who were clearly discovering the magic for the first time. It wasn’t just a concert—it felt like stepping into a time machine. Pure new wave nostalgia with just enough edge to still feel totally relevant. Missing Persons still have it. And then some.

Too short of a set! But I enjoyed watching them live again!👍🤟😝🤟

The show was awesome! All three bands were great! Especially MP and the Motels! Dale and Martha still sound amazing and still rock! The band of Bow Wow Wow are all excellent musicians as well as the musicians of MP and Motels. The venue was nice and big, though I wish I had paid a little more to have seating since standing for so long did take a toll on my feet, but we still had a great time! Staff was courteous, and the sound was awesome! Great place to see a show!

Awesome! She sounds excellent, overall good line up for the birthday bash.

Dale Bozio And Stacy Q was fantastic!

Missing Persons was amazing and Dale is so talented and kind! We met her before and after the concert. She was so sweet and it made my guy’s night to get hugs from her. We hope they have an amazing rest of their tour. Thank you for taking us back to the 80s and making new memories! Hopefully they’ll be back next year!!

Still Rocking! And so nice to meet!

Missing Persons cancelled!!!!’n

Missing Persons was AMAZING!!!! Hands down my favorite band of the night! Dale’s voice was strong and spot on. I felt like I was watching her back in the 80’s, plus she’s absolutely adorable on stage. I could have listened to her all night! Love, love, love them 💕
