Devo<\/a> and the B-52\u2019s<\/a> have added eight dates to the Cosmic De-Evolution Tour they launched last year. Arenas and amphitheaters in Seattle, Vancouver, Grand Rapids, and other cities will host the extended co-headlining run, which had seemingly wrapped in London and Manchester this past weekend. DJ Cummerbund will open the new dates. Check out the itinerary below.<\/p>\n

The two bands appear to be vying with Bob Dylan<\/a> to spool out the world\u2019s longest tour itinerary through a series of incremental extensions: Devo announced their farewell in 2023 and expanded<\/a> their own itinerary as recently as this February, while the B-52\u2019s started billing<\/a> their concerts as a farewell tour in 2022.<\/p>\n

At the launch of the 2025 tour dates, B-52 Fred Schneider offered the caveat, \u201cWe were careful to say to our fans that we would still perform in special situations that don\u2019t require all of the awful tour travel.\u201d (In 2019, he had announced the band\u2019s retirement from \u201cmajor tours\u201d but said they would still \u201cbe doing gigs and festivals.\u201d) They have since staged a marathon Vegas residency and played dozens of shows around North America and Europe.<\/p>\n
