THE B-52s announced they are embarking on their farewell tour after 45 years of performing.
The band was formed in Athens, Georgia in 1976 and has performed 242 concerts since the beginning.
The B-52s Final Tour Ever on Planet Earth will kick off on August 22, 2022, in Seattle, Washington, and will hold 15 shows throughout the US.
They will take the stage for the last time on November 11 in Atlanta, Georgia, only 71 miles from where the band got its start.
The B-52s co-founder, Kate Pierson, said in a statement, “Who knew what started as a way to have some fun and play music for our friends’ at house parties in Athens in 1977 would evolve into over 45 years of making music and touring the world. It’s been cosmic.”
Vocalist, songwriter, and co-founder Cindy Wilson added, “It has been a wild ride, that’s for sure. We feel truly blessed to have had an amazing career encouraging folks to dance, sing along with us, and feel they can be whomever they are with our music.”
