The B-52s have announced a farewell tour of the United States, which begins in Seattle on 22 August. It wraps up in mid-November in Atlanta, with support slots from The Tubes and KC & The Sunshine Band over the course of the dates.

“Who knew what started as a way to have some fun and play music for our friends’ at house parties in Athens in 1977 would evolve into over 45 years of making music and touring the world,” said singer Kate Pierson, in a statement. “It’s been cosmic.”

“It has been a wild ride, that’s for sure,” read a statement from Cindy Wilson. “We feel truly blessed to have had an amazing career encouraging folks to dance, sing along with us and feel they can be whomever they are with our music.”

“No one likes to throw a party more than we do, but after almost a half-century on the road, it’s time for one last blow-out with our friends and family…our fans,” Fred Schneider explained of the band’s decision to retire from touring. “And with KC & The Sunshine Band and The Tubes on board, it’s going to be one hell of a farewell party at these concerts.”
