Listening to music on a 1980s-era boombox may take you back in the day. Even better is hearing some of the era's hottest bands live. For that, push play for this weekend's Rewind Music Festival.

The SOS Band ("Take Your Time"), Silk ("Freak Me") and Lakeside ("Fantastic Voyage") are among the acts set to find their funk and R&B grooves in a show at Engel Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 4. Rapper VIC will add some "Wobble" sounds.
