New Wave icons The B-52s and Devo will unite for the 2025 “Cosmic De-Evolution Tour.” The Live Nation co-headlining 11-date run will be concert farewells for both bands.. Lene Lovich will open the celebratory trek, which begins September 24th in Toronto and ends November 2nd in Houston.

“In 2022, I swore I’d never get on a tour bus again,” said The B-52s 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.”

DEVO’s Mark Mothersbaugh said, “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!”

The curtain-call tour overlaps with DEVO’s own farewell tour, 50 Years of De-Evolution, paired with a compilation album of the same name. Find the B-52’s and DEVO “Cosmic De-Evolution Tour” dates HERE.
