One of the most iconic acts to come out of the MTV era was the B-52’s. Thier rowdy, party music and larger than life personalities quickly elevated them to legendary status. It’s so hard to believe that it went down 40 years ago but – here we are talking about a B-52’s 40th Anniversary show. Seems the band has a ton is shit coming at us in celebration of that landmark so – let’s cruise through this press release as it is loaded with info – including all the US tour stops.
“The B-52s remain one of rock music’s most beloved and enduring bands. As the B-52s continue to celebrate their 40thAnniversary, the band announced a world-wide tour today that is expected to cover more than 10 countries and will include a headlining North American summer tour. The 40+ city tour will kick off May 4 in West Palm Beach, FL at Sunfest and finishes in New York City on September 24 at Summer Stage in Central Park.

OMD and BERLIN will support on select North American dates. “
But – a tour is not enough to celebrate four decades of the band – they also announced a few other upcoming projects in the works:
“Continuing the festivities, Da Capo Press/Hachette Books has announced plans to publish the first-ever official history of the band in 2020. Meanwhile, the B-52s have joined forces with Executive Producer Fred Armisen and Director Craig Johnson [Skelton Twins, Wilson, Alex Strangelove] to develop an authorized documentary film of the group.”
