Absolute Radio 20s is a spin-off UK-based radio station from Absolute Radio. It launched at 10.00am on 24 February 2020 and operated solely online until being made available as a DAB+ service, alongside multiple other Bauer-run stations, on the new local digital multiplex for Cumbria in December 2021.[1] It is the seventh decades themed station to be launched by Absolute's owner, Bauer Radio.

The station plays rock and alternative music from both emerging and established artists and groups and has the strapline of "new music matters."[2] The first song to be played on the station was "Instant History" by Biffy Clyro. Presenters include Danielle Perry and Jay Lawrence.
