The B-52s And Devo Announce Special Co-Headlining Performances

Published

on

Two of rock’s most influential and distinctive forces, The B-52s and Devo, will unite for the 2025 “Cosmic De-Evolution Tour”: a co-headlining 11-date run serving as both bands’ continuing concert farewells. Lene Lovich will open the celebratory trek, which currently launches September 24th  in Toronto and wraps November 2nd in Houston.

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with CITI and AMEX presales (details below) beginning Monday, June 16. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday June 20 at 10 AM local time at LiveNation.com.

CITI PRESALE: Citi is the official card of the Cosmic De-Evolution Tour*. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Monday, June 16 at 12 PM local time until Thursday, June 19 at 10 PM local time through the Citi Entertainment program. For complete presale details visit www.citientertainment.com. *LA date is not available within this presale.

AMEX PRESALE: American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets for the Los Angeles show before the general public beginning Monday, June 16 at 10 AM local time through Thursday, June 19 at 10 PM local time.

“In 2022, I swore I’d never get on a tour bus again” said Fred Schneider “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. 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’t say no to.”

Added Kate Pierson, “When we first came from Athens to New York City to perform, punk was in full force…and 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– amazed that David Bowie, Brian Eno, Frank Zappa, Allen Ginsberg, Talking Heads and Blondie all came to see us!  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’s incredible first album…and 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.”

Said Cindy Wilson, “When 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” says Cindy Wilson. “Believe or not, we’ve never done more than a festival or two together in all this time. This will be amazing and I can’t wait for The B-52s to share these stages with Devo!”

Said Mark Mothersbaugh, “The B-52s had one of the best sounds  of any of the bands out there in the late 70’s early 80’s – Rock Lobster is one of my favorite songs – 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!”

Added Gerry Casale, “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.  We each did something right in different ways that withstood the test of time.  Now we’re here to prove we can still “bring it” as they say!”

The B-52s— led by original co-founders Fred Schneider (vocals), Kate Pierson (vocals, keyboards), and Cindy Wilson (vocals)—kicked 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.

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 (“Whip It,” “Uncontrollable Urge”) 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.

CAAMP_2026_National

Caamp announces its 2026 Tour, which kicks off in Richmond, VA on April 22nd. With 13 of the 19-city headlining tour co-produced by FPC Live and Live Nation – Caamp’s 2026 Tour follows the band’s successful 2025 Tour and Copper Changes Color album – includes stops at Forest Hills Stadium (Forest Hills, NY), Merriweather Post Pavilion (Columbia, MD), and two nights at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre (Greenwood Village, CO). It will also include a special hometown arena show at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, OH.

Artist pre-sale begins February 17th at 10am local time with additional pre-sales running throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale which begins February 20th at 10am local time. Caamp will donate $1 for each ticket sold to their Great Heights Movement, which supports charitable programs in the Columbus, OH area and beyond. Fans can learn more and register for the pre-sale code now at: caamptheband.com/caamp-tour-dates

In addition to their 2026 headlining tour, Caamp will join Zach Bryan and Mumford & Sons for direct support for select dates on Bryan’s With Heaven On Tour starting in March, and Mumford & Sons’ Prizefighter European Tour in July. They will also play festivals including High Water Festival (headliner), Railbird Festival and Levitate Music and Arts Festival (headliner).

Last summer, the band released their fifth studio album, Copper Changes Colorvia Mom+Pop MusicThe album – which Garden & Gun praises for its “Strokes-like strut, all clanging electric guitars at a punchy clip” while still nailing “the sweet spot of Caamp’s trademark folk and delicate banjo beneath Meier’s distinctive baritone” – is both a reflection on growth and evolution and a celebration of the dreams and bonds that endure. Copper Changes Colordebuted at No. 1 on the Americana/Folk Albums chart and on Spotify’s Top 10 Albums: Debut USA, plus earned the band’s fifth Adult Alternative Airplay No. 1 single with “Mistakes.”

The 2026 Tour follows their sold-out 2025 Tour, which saw more than 200K tickets sold and included stops at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall, LA’s Greek Theatre, Chicago’s Salt Shed, Denver’s Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway, DC’s The Anthem, and more, plus a successful European Tour.

Founded in Athens, OH by Taylor Meier (frontman + primary songwriter) and Evan Westfall (multi-instrumentalist), Caamp – which also includes Matt Vinson (bass), Joseph Kavalec (keys) and Nicholas Falk (drums) – rocketed to early acclaim with their self-titled 2016 debut, which garnered the band their first gold single and will celebrate its 10th anniversary next month. Since then, the group has racked up more than 2.5 billion streams; topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart; topped the Americana Albums chart, sold out multiple nights from Red Rocks to Radio City; headlined Columbus’ Nationwide Arena; received praise from the likes of NPR, Relix, SPIN and more; and performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS Saturday Morning. Caamp also wrote and recorded “And It’s Gone” as the main title theme for Stick, the 2025 hit AppleTV+ original sports comedy starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson.

Tame Impala Announce North American Arena Tour with Djo and Dominik Fike

Tame-Impala-2026-tour-dates

After 2025 and 2026 global sell-outs, Tame Impala has added another run of North American dates kicking off this summer. The tour will begin in Miami at Kaseya Center on July 7th and wrap up September 19th at the Toyota Center in Houston. The first half of the tour will be supported by Djo and the latter half by Dominic Fike, marking the first time either of the two massive artists in their own right have ever supported on a tour.  Artist presales via Seated will begin Wednesday, February 18 at 12pm local time, with unique passwords required. Additional presales will follow on Thursday, February 19 at 12pm local time, including the AEG/Venue presale, the Ticketmaster/AXS presale, and the Radio presale. All presales will conclude Thursday, February 19 at 10pm local time, with the public on sale beginning Friday, February 20 at 12pm local time. For more information visit www.tameimpala.com
 
Late last year, Tame Impala released his fifth full-length album, Deadbeat via Columbia Records. On it, Parker sculpted a collection of wickedly potent club-psych explorations as a vehicle for some of his most direct, brain-wormy songwriting to date, including the breakout hit “Dracula.” The song has now held the #1 position at ALT radio and Tame Impala has since released “Dracula (JENNIE Remix).” The song travelled all the way to South Korea and came back reborn with vocals from the global superstar. LISTEN HERE.
 
After releasing Deadbeat, Parker scored a GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Recording for the single “End Of Summer” (the only track eligible for the 2026 GRAMMYS) and won the category earlier this month. He also picked up a BRIT Award nomination for International Group of the Year. Tame Impala has had 5 career GRAMMY nominations and now two wins, and has racked up three BRIT Award nominations and a win throughout his career. Prior to becoming tour-mates, Tame Impala and Djo (Joe Keery) teamed up for the “Loser” video – WATCH HERE

“One of the best live shows of the year.”
