After Saying Farewell, The B-52s and Devo Are Touring Again

The B-52s said goodbye. So did Devo. But nostalgia — like a good synth hook — always loops. In a move that feels part victory lap, part glitch in the matrix, these two alt-pop giants just announced a joint U.S. tour for 2025. If you missed your last chance… surprise: you get one more.

The pairing makes strange sense. Both bands blurred the line between satire, fashion, punk, and postmodern joy. Devo brought the philosophy, the anti-corporate chants, the uniforms. The B-52s brought hair, chaos, beach parties at the end of the world. If you’ve ever shouted “Whip it good!” into a cracked car speaker or danced to “Planet Claire” like it was a birthright — this tour is for you.

Catch them before they really, actually, probably don’t tour again. (But who knows.)

We’ll be running deep B-52s and Devo cuts in Cassette Roulette and Frequency Shift all week.
