==1960s–2000: Big Band nostalgia and swing revival==
{{Main|Swing revival}}
Though swing music was no longer mainstream, fans could attend "Big Band Nostalgia" tours from the 1970s into the 1980s. The tours featured bandleaders and vocalists of the swing era who were semi-retired, such as Harry James and vocalist Dick Haymes. Historically-themed radio broadcasts featuring period comedy, melodrama, and music also played a role in sustaining interest in the music of the swing era.
	
[[Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks]], and later [[David Grisman]], presented adaptations of Gypsy Swing, rekindling interest in the musical form. Other swing revivals occurred during the 1970s. The jazz, R&B, and swing revival vocal group [[Manhattan Transfer (band)|Manhattan Transfer]] and [[Bette Midler]] included swing era hits on albums during the early 1970s. In Seattle the New Deal Rhythm Band and the Horns O Plenty Orchestra revived 1930s swing with a dose of comedy behind vocalists Phil "De Basket" Shallat, [[Cheryl Bentyne|Cheryl "Benzene" Bentyne]], and six-foot-tall "Little Janie" Lambert. Bentyne would leave the New Deal Rhythm Band in 1978 for her long career with Manhattan Transfer. Founding leader of the New Deal Rhythm Band [[John Holte]] led swing revival bands in the Seattle area until 2003.

A [[swing revival]] occurred during the 1990s and 2000s led by [[Royal Crown Revue]], [[Big Bad Voodoo Daddy]], [[The Cherry Poppin' Daddies]], [[Squirrel Nut Zippers]], [[Lavay Smith]], and [[Brian Setzer]]. Many of the bands played [[neo-swing]] which combined swing with [[rockabilly]], [[ska]], and rock. The music brought a revival in swing dancing.

In 2001 [[Robbie Williams]]'s album ''[[Swing When You're Winning]]'' consisted mainly of popular swing covers. The album sold more than 7 million copies worldwide. In November 2013, Robbie Williams released ''[[Swings Both Ways]]''.
