The B-52's, Devo to Embark on Co-Headlining Cosmic De-Evolution Tour
Two titans of New Wave, the B-52's and Devo, will team up this fall for the co-headlining Cosmic De-Evolution Tour. Although the B-52's embarked on a farewell tour three years ago — they've since confined themselves to a Las Vegas residency — the idea of joining the 'Whip It' troupe on the road proved too enticing to ignore. The two bands recently linked up (alongside Fred Armisen) at the all-star SNL 50 concert and discussed the venture. More from Rolling Stone Clave Especial Will Celebrate the 'Power of Corridos' During First-Ever Tour Marina Plots Regal 'Princess of Power' Fall Tour Marco Antonio Solis Unveils Más Cerca De Ti Tour Dates 'In 2022, I swore I'd never get on a tour bus again, 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,' the B-52's Fred Schneider said in a statement. '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.' The B-52's Cindy Wilson added, 'When both of our bands performed at the recent SNL 50 concert at Radio City, we started talking and agreed we had to do these shows. Believe or not, we've never done more than a festival or two together in all this time. This will be amazing and I can't wait for The B-52s to share these stages with Devo!' The 11-date Cosmic De-Evolution Tour kicks off September 24 in Toronto and runs through November 2 in Houston. Fellow New Waver Lene Lovich will serve as the trek's opening act before the two headliners take the stage. Tickets for the tour go on sale to the public on June 20 at Live Nation, with pre-sales beginning June 16. As both bands said in statements, the two acts have long shared a mutual admiration for each other's music. 'The B-52s had one of the best sounds of any of the bands out there in the late seventies and early eighties – 'Rock Lobster' is one of my favorite songs – Devo used to sing it to Booji Boy after Devo shows,' Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh said in a statement. '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 B-52's Kate Pierson added, 'When we first came from Athens to New York City to perform, punk was in full force…and New Wave was right on its tail! We loved all the New Wave groups, including Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Blondie and the Ramones. We also really dug the far-out weirdness of Devo, which seemed very in tuned to our sensibilities. We remember one of our first shows — amazed that David Bowie, Brian Eno, Frank Zappa, Allen Ginsberg, Talking Heads and Blondie all came to see us! When we opened the Mudd Club, we partied with Devo and really hit it off on the dance floor. Later, Brian Eno went onto to produce Devo's incredible first album…and now we will align again! So put on your wig hats and Devo bonnets and get ready to party! This is going to be wild.'

G-Dragon to Bring ‘Übermensch' Tour to U.S. and Europe
Well, he said he would be back. After a headlining performance at Head in the Clouds Los Angeles last month (which marked his first U.S. performance since 2017), G-Dragon has announced U.S. and Europe dates for his ongoing Übermensch tour. The newly announced leg includes shows at both Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center and Los Angeles' Arena, venues he's returning to for the first time since BIGBANG's MADE tour 10 years ago, in addition to stops in Las Vegas and Paris. More from Rolling Stone The B-52's, Devo to Embark on Co-Headlining Cosmic De-Evolution Tour BTS' Jungkook and Jimin Discharged from Korean Military After RM and V Clave Especial Will Celebrate the 'Power of Corridos' During First-Ever Tour Throughout his career, G-Dragon has pushed boundaries and cemented himself as an influential cultural force not just in music but in fashion, visual arts, and philanthropy. 'This isn't just a concert — it's my next chapter. I've grown, changed, and challenged myself in ways I never imagined,' he shares exclusively with Rolling Stone. 'I want my fans to feel every second of that transformation live on stage together.' The Übermensch tour began in late March, roughly a month after the release of G-Dragon's latest album of the same name. Launching with two sold-out shows at Seoul's Goyang Stadium, the tour has since made its way across Asia — selling out nearly every stop along the way. His latest stop was three shows in Macau, one of which was added due to demand. Although the tour centers on his latest album, fans can expect a setlist that spans across G-Dragon's solo career. G-Dragon has been dropping dates and venues in different phases, with the first phase covering Japan, the Philippines, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong, and the second phase consisting of Australia and Thailand just weeks ago. 'I'M COMING HOME,' he wrote on Instagram when sharing the dates for the first announcement. With just a few U.S. dates on the schedule as of now, ticket demand is expected to be high. Tickets for the new shows will go on sale on June 27 at 10 a.m. local time via the tour's official website with a special presale for fans via G-Dragon's official fan community on June 25. The new leg of the tour is produced by Galaxy Corporation and AEG Presents, with Infinite Prospects Entertainment as the local promoter.
