Published on

The B-52’s, one of the most iconic names of the 80’s, has just announced a farewell tour of Europe through its official website. The iconic band recently celebrated its 40th anniversary with a strong North American tour alongside Boy George & Culture Club and Tom Bailey of the Thompson Twins.

In May, the veterans have appointments at three festivals in the United States, from then on for the European tour from June 21 in Spain to perform at the Azkena Rock Festival. There are 11 dates on European soil for a new return to America in August. From September the B-52’s will have to amend new dates and there is the possibility of the band engaging a farewell tour in South America.

Known for songs that marked the 1980s, such as “Love Shack,” “Pivate Idaho,” and “Legal Tender,” the American group formed in 1976 in the city of Athens, Georgia, features Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson on vocals, Fred Schneider on vocals and keyboards, and Keith Strickland on guitar and programming.

The B-52’s released six albums between 1979 and 1992, the latest Fumplex, released in 2008. The band is currently working on a documentary and its first official book. These new materials do not yet have their release schedules set.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
