The B-52s and Devo are teaming up for a new co-headlining tour.
The 2025 Cosmic De-Evolution tour will consist of 11 dates, kicking off Sept. 24 in Toronto and wrapping Nov. 2 in Houston. The tour, with special guest Lene Lovich, will serve as “both bands’ continuing concert farewells,” according to a press release.
The B-52s went on a farewell tour back in 2022, but Fred Schneider revealed what changed his mind about this trek.
“In 2022, I swore I’d never get on a tour bus again but we were careful to say to our fans that we would still perform in special situations that don’t require all of the awful tour travel,” he says. “[W]hen we were offered the chance to do a small run of shows with Devo, we all said this is an extraordinary opportunity we couldn’t say no to.”
The B-52s’ Cindy Wilson revealed that discussions for the tour began after the two bands performed together at the SNL50 concert in New York City.
“Believe or not, we’ve never done more than a festival or two together in all this time,” she shared. “This will be amazing and I can’t wait for The B-52s to share these stages with Devo!”
Added Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh, “It was either fate or luck or the SNL anniversary that brought us all together to create this amazing chance to go out on tour. All I can say is Cosmic Devolution is REAL!”
Presales begin Monday, with tickets going on sale to the general public Friday morning.
