    The B-52s and Devo will play in The Woodlands on November 2.

    Fans of '80s music will get to unite for a night of nostalgia during The B-52s and Devo's joint Cosmic De-Evolution Tour, a co-headlining run that will come to The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Sunday, November 2.

    The tour, which is serving as both bands’ continuing concert farewells, will travel to 11 cities, starting in Toronto on September 24. The journey will end with two dates in Texas, including Austin on November 1.

    Lene Lovich will serve as opening act.

    The B-52s — led by original co-founders Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, and Cindy Wilson — kicked off their extended goodbye run back in 2022. The band, which is best known for hits like "Love Shack" and "Roam" — also has a documentary and their first official book in the works.

    Devo is fronted by three of their original members: Mark Mothersbaugh, Gerald Casale, and Bob Mothersbaugh. In 2023, the fellow New Wave icons, known for songs like “Whip It” and “Uncontrollable Urge,” kicked off their own farewell tour, 50 Years of De-Evolution, paired with a compilation album of the same name.

    Tickets for the tour will be available starting with CITI and AMEX presales beginning on Monday, June 16. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning on Friday June 20 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
