Our Vegas residency is going great, and when we were offered the chance to do a small run of shows with Devo, we all said this is an extraordinary opportunity we couldn&#8217;t say no to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added Kate Pierson, \u201cWhen we first came from Athens to New York City to perform, punk was in full force\u2026and New Wave was right on its tail! We loved all the New Wave groups, including Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Blondie and the Ramones. We also really dug the far-out weirdness of Devo, which seemed very in tuned to our sensibilities. We remember one of our first shows&#8211; amazed that David Bowie, Brian Eno, Frank Zappa, Allen Ginsberg, Talking Heads and Blondie all came to see us!&nbsp; When we opened the Mudd Club, we partied with Devo and really hit it off on the dance floor. Later, Brian Eno went onto to produce Devo\u2019s incredible first album\u2026and now we will align again ! So put on your wig hats and Devo bonnets and get ready to party! This is going to be wild.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Said Cindy Wilson, \u201cWhen both of our bands performed at the recent SNL 50 concert at Radio City, we started talking and agreed we had to do these shows\u201d says Cindy Wilson. \u201cBelieve or not, we\u2019ve never done more than a festival or two together in all this time. This will be amazing and I can\u2019t wait for The B-52s to share these stages with Devo!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Said Mark Mothersbaugh,&nbsp;&#8220;The B-52s had one of the best sounds&nbsp;of any of the bands out there in the late 70\u2019s early 80\u2019s &#8211; Rock Lobster is one of my favorite songs &#8211; DEVO used to sing it to Booji Boy after DEVO shows. 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!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added&nbsp;Gerry&nbsp;Casale,&nbsp;&#8220;Devo and The B-52s on tour together! That it took almost 50 years to happen is rather mind-blowing. But better late than never.&nbsp;We each did something right in different ways that withstood the test of time.&nbsp;Now we&#8217;re here to prove we can still &#8220;bring it&#8221; as they say!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The B-52s\u2014 led by original co-founders Fred Schneider (vocals), Kate Pierson (vocals, keyboards), and Cindy Wilson (vocals)\u2014kicked off their extended goodbye run back in 2022. Since that time, they have electrified select venues and large music festivals across the U.S. and even established a Las Vegas residency at The Venetian Theatre, powered by their colorful, danceable iconic classics that have made a seismic impact on New Wave and music history. As they prepare for a 2025 farewell tour, a high-profile documentary and their first official book, The B-52s undoubtedly stand poised to inspire and influence future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This curtain-call timing overlaps with Devo, who are also fronted by three of their original members: Mark Mothersbaugh (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Gerald Casale (vocals, bass, keyboards), and Bob Mothersbaugh (guitar, vocals). In 2023, the fellow New Wave icons (\u201cWhip It,\u201d \u201cUncontrollable Urge\u201d) kicked off their own farewell tour, 50 Years of De-Evolution, paired with a compilation album of the same name. That jaunt has since been extended and continues through the summer and fall of 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"631\" src=\"https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/unnamed-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"b-52's devo cosmic de-evolution 2025 tour\" class=\"wp-image-271956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/unnamed-2-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/unnamed-2-1-728x383.jpg 728w, https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/unnamed-2-1-200x105.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/unnamed-2-1-150x79.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cosmic-de-evolution-tour-dates-2025\">COSMIC DE-EVOLUTION TOUR DATES 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>9\/24 &#8211; Toronto, ONT @ Budweiser Stage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9\/25 &#8211; Clarkston, MI @ Pine Knob Music Theatre<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10\/2 &#8211; Mansfield, MA @ Xfinity Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10\/4 &#8211; Holmdel, NJ @ PNC Bank Arts Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10\/5 &#8211; Wantagh, NY @ Northwell at Jones Beach Theater<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10\/16 &#8211; Mountain View, CA @ Shoreline Amphitheatre<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10\/18 &#8211; Los Angeles, CA @ Hollywood Bowl<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10\/24 &#8211; Charlotte, NC @ PNC Music Pavilion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10\/25 &#8211; Alpharetta, GA @ Ameris Bank Amphitheatre<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11\/1 &#8211; Austin, TX @ Germania Insurance Amphitheater\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11\/2 &#8211; Houston, TX @ The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion Sponsored by Huntsman<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The B-52s \u2014 Band Biography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling over 20 million albums worldwide, The B-52s\u2014Fred Schneider [vocals], Kate Pierson [vocals], Cindy Wilson [vocals], and retired-from-performing Keith Strickland [guitar, drums, keys, programming]\u2014 have quietly impacted alternative music, fashion, and culture over the course of four-plus decades. They count John Lennon, Madonna, James Murphy, Arcade Fire, Lady Gaga and Michael Stipe among their many disciples. Panic! At The Disco, Blood Orange, The Offspring, Pitbull, Roger Sanchez, and DJ Shadow have sampled classics from the band\u2019s discography as Seth MacFarlane\u2019s&nbsp;Family Guy,&nbsp;The Simpsons,&nbsp;Sugarland, and more offered up covers of their own. They inched towards the forefront of the post-punk movement in America codified by 1979\u2019s self-titled&nbsp;The B-52s. Not only did the record go gold, but it also placed at #152 on&nbsp;Rolling Stone\u2019s \u201c500 Greatest Albums of All Time\u201d and #99 on VH1\u2019s \u201cGreatest Albums of All Time.\u201d The gold-selling&nbsp;Wild Planet&nbsp;arrived hot on its heels in 1980. With Keith Strickland brilliantly filling the void in with music composition and live show guitar duties after Ricky Wilson\u2019s untimely passing, 1989\u2019s watershed&nbsp;Cosmic Thing&nbsp;elevated The B-52s to another galaxy altogether. It moved 5 million-plus units and spawned a string of Top 10 smashes in the form of the GRAMMY\u00ae-nominated \u201cRoam\u201d and \u201cLove Shack\u201d\u2014which&nbsp;Rolling Stone&nbsp;lauded on the \u201c500 Greatest Songs of All Time.\u201d After a 16-year hiatus, The B-52s proved as bright, bold, and boundless as ever on 2008\u2019s&nbsp;Funplex. The momentum only ramped up when they roamed on tour in 2015 alongside Tears for Fears, Pretenders and more, and then continued up through the band\u2019s celebrated farewell tour launched in 2022. As they prepare to celebrate their catalog with their ongoing farewell performances, The B-52s look forward to inspiring future generations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DEVO \u2013 Band Biography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1973, out of the remnants of late \u201960s political activism and the rising post-punk music climate, the seminal band DEVO was born. The formative lineup consisted of two sets of brothers\u2014Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, and Gerald and Bob Casale\u2014along with drummer Alan Myers, all hailing from Akron, Ohio. The band\u2019s prophetic message of \u201cDevolution\u201d and their strikingly original fusion of electronics and punk made them a singular influence throughout the \u201980s and into the \u201990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DEVO began when Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale met as students at Kent State University and began exchanging ideas about art and music. Deeply influenced by the Vietnam War, campus protests, and the tragic Kent State shootings of May 1970, the duo started making films and writing songs that would evolve into a wholly unique performance style. Their art-meets-music ethos quickly propelled them into the spotlight as one of the most high-profile acts in the New Wave movement, earning them a fervent cult following that included David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Neil Young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1978, after an impromptu endorsement at Max\u2019s Kansas City where David Bowie declared them \u201cthe band of the future,\u201d DEVO was whisked off to Germany. There, <a href=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/tag\/brian-eno\/\">Brian Eno<\/a>\u2014along with Bowie\u2019s collaboration\u2014produced their debut album\u00a0Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are DEVO!. The record caught the attention of both critics and the industry, helping the band build a devoted following. It wasn\u2019t until their third album,\u00a0Freedom of Choice\u2014produced by Bob Margouleff and featuring the double-platinum single\u00a0Whip It\u2014that DEVO became a worldwide phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band continued to evolve, releasing influential albums such as&nbsp;New Traditionalists,&nbsp;Oh No! It\u2019s DEVO, and&nbsp;Shout. Their visual and sonic innovations helped define the aesthetic of the early MTV era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1990, DEVO went on hiatus to pursue other creative paths. Mark Mothersbaugh received a call from friend Paul Reubens and went on to compose the theme and music for&nbsp;Pee-wee\u2019s Playhouse. This unexpected opportunity launched him into a prolific career in film and television composition. He founded Mutato Muzika\u2014a full-service music production house and a nod to his DEVO roots (&#8220;mutant&#8221; + &#8220;potato&#8221;)\u2014and brought in Bob Mothersbaugh and Bob Casale. Based in the iconic Oscar Niemeyer building on Sunset Boulevard, Mutato became one of the most successful music houses in Hollywood. Mark has since become one of the most in-demand and highest-grossing composers in the industry. In addition to hundreds of commercials, games, and television projects, his film scores include&nbsp;The Rugrats Movie,&nbsp;Rushmore,&nbsp;The Royal Tenenbaums,&nbsp;The Lego Movie,&nbsp;Thor: Ragnarok,&nbsp;Cocaine Bear, and most recently,&nbsp;A Minecraft&nbsp;movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gerald Casale, director of most of DEVO\u2019s music videos, became a notable figure in the MTV revolution, directing videos for bands like Rush, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, and Silverchair. He also built a successful commercial career, directing for brands including Miller Lite, Diet Coke, Mrs. Butterworth&#8217;s and Tang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1996, DEVO reunited for the first time in six years at the Sundance Film Festival to an exuberant crowd\u2014DEVO was back. With the original lineup intact (except for Alan Myers, who was replaced by drummer Josh Freese), the band reignited their live performance legacy. Freese remained with DEVO for nearly two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, DEVO has continued to perform at festivals and venues around the globe. Their message feels more relevant than ever, and their influence can be heard in bands ranging from Rage Against the Machine and Nirvana to LCD Soundsystem and Santigold. Kurt Cobain once said, \u201cOf all the bands who came from the underground and made it in the mainstream, DEVO were the most challenging and subversive of all.\u201d (Nirvana covered DEVO\u2019s&nbsp;Turnaround, featured on their 1992 compilation&nbsp;Incesticide.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, DEVO embarked on their 50th Anniversary Tour, featuring three original members\u2014Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, and Gerald Casale. Jeff Friedl now holds the drumsticks, and Josh Hager has taken over for the late Bob Casale on rhythm guitar and synths. Their high-energy performances blend punk, rock, and synth-pop in a way that continues to astonish and delight audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As music critic Bob Lefsetz recently wrote about DEVO\u2019s set at Cruel World:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt occurs to me that this music is anything but dated&#8230; make no mistake, live DEVO ROCKS!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DEVO, the feature documentary directed by Chris Smith, will stream globally as a Netflix Original in August 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The B-52s and Devo are teaming up for the wildest goodbye tour in rock history.
