Look, I wouldn’t want to finish things up, either. The B-52’s and Demo both emerged in the late ’70s with arty, conceptual takes on pop music. Both of them were theatrical and visually distinctive and seriously fun, and both groups became mega-popular in the early MTV era. In the past few years, both groups announced farewell tours. The B-52’s recently finished theirs and transitioned into a Las Vegas residency, while Devo extended their own into this year. Now, the two groups have decided that they’re not leaving the road behind after all. Instead, they’re heading out on a joint headlining run this fall.
