Ticketing details indicate sales begin Friday at 10 a.m. local time, with Citi cardmember and Live Nation presales preceding the general on-sale.

The pairing emphasizes a shared history of boundary-pushing creativity and joyful rebellion, promising a distinctive, high-energy live experience for fans.

Coverage and context for the collaboration are part of broader music-news discussions and artist histories across BrooklynVegan and related outlets.

Promotional quotes encourage Mutate, don’t stagnate, underscoring the bands’ environmental-minded, active approach to touring.

Ticketing and further information are available through Live Nation.

The B-52s are led by Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, and Cindy Wilson, while Devo is fronted by Mark Mothersbaugh, Gerald Casale, and Bob Mothersbaugh.

The tour will feature classic hits from both bands, including The B-52s’ Love Shack, Roam, and Rock Lobster, and Devo’s Whip It, Beautiful World, and Girl U Want.
