"Holiday '80" is an EP released by the original lineup of the British synthpop band The Human League. The EP was issued by Virgin Records in the UK, in April 1980, principally as a stop-gap to test the market after the poor sales of Reproduction, the Human League's first album, however it too was not a great commercial success.

The recordings were produced with John Leckie, who had also been working with new wave bands such as Simple Minds and XTC. The principal song on the EP was "Marianne", however Virgin felt the band's preferred version of the track was not strong enough and refused to release it. [ [http://www.league-online.com/biography2.html HUMAN LEAGUE BIOG 1980 - 1992 ] ] . "Dancevision" was an instrumental. The EP also featured a new, more elaborate recording of the band's debut single "Being Boiled", which would subsequently be included on their next album, "Travelogue". The last track was a medly consisting of a cover of Gary Glitter's "Rock' N Roll" seguéing into the Iggy Pop track "Nightclubbing".
