Devo guest program rage (1997)
Get ready to crack that whip! This week's Vault Guest Programmer is none other than American new wave icons Devo. Join bandmates Jerry, Mark and both Bobs as they take over… not quite the red couch, but a myriad of prime programming seating arrangements. This Vault episode includes a bunch of hilarious, star-speckled stories from the band, with casual name drops including Pink Floyd, Elton John and Silverchair (the latter of which Jerry directed music videos for!). Rage was lucky enough to record this episode back in 1997 whilst Devo was Down Under for their appearance at the legendary Livid Festival, after just reuniting a year previously! A true show for the history books, the fun kicks off this Friday night at 10:57pm on ABC Entertains (or stream live via ABC iview!).

Iconic ‘80s Band The B-52s Makes Surprise Announcement 3 Years After Farewell Tour
The B-52s are back. The iconic 1980s band best known for the songs 'Rock Lobster,' 'Planet Claire,' 'Roam,' and 'Love Shack' will join forces with fellow new wavers Devo for the Cosmic De-Evolution Tour, the band announced on Instagram on June 16. 'We are excited that the Cosmic De-Evolution Tour is landing in a city near you with @clubdevo and special guest @lene_lovich_band_official ! 🛸Tickets go on sale Friday, June 20th @ 10AM,' the band announced. The official announcement came hours after the B-52s teased big news was coming in a series of Instagram posts. The upcoming 11-city tour kicks off on Sept. 24 in Toronto and ends Nov. 2 in Houston, with Lene Lovich as the opening act. The B-52s features Kate Pierson (vocals, keyboards, synth bass), Ricky Wilson (vocals, guitar), Cindy Wilson (vocals, percussion), and Fred Schneider (vocals, percussion). In a statement to Rolling Stone, Cindy Wilson said the idea for the co-headlining tour was spawned when the B-52s and Devo performed at the SNL 50 concert at Radio City Music Hall in February. Schneider added, '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. … 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-52s announced their North American Farewell tour in April 2022. It ran from Aug. 22 in Seattle to Nov. 11 in Atlanta and featured KC and the Sunshine Band and the Tubes, per Ultimate Classic Rock. The band has played a residency at The Venetian in Las Vegas since wrapping their final tour in '80s Band The B-52s Makes Surprise Announcement 3 Years After Farewell Tour first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 16, 2025

B-52s, Devo announce tour: Dates, cities, how to get tickets Show Caption Hide Caption Beyoncé concert surprise: Mom stuns daughter with dream tickets Eight-year-old Nalah was stunned when her mom, Brinn Nicole, surprised her with Beyoncé concert tickets in Los Angeles. Two iconic punk bands, hailing from the '70s, are coming together for a limited-run tour this fall. Devo and The B-52s announced their 11-city "Cosmic De-Evolution Tour" on Monday, June 16. Tickets go on sale this week for the tour that starts in late September. The joint tour comes after both bands have performed farewell tours. The B-52s concluded its retirement tour in November 2022 and has had a residency at The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas, Nevada since. And Devo will finish its "50 Years of De-Evolution" tour in November (after extending the tour last year). "In 2022, I swore I'd never get on a tour bus again," B-52s front man Fred Schneider said in a news release. "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. 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-52s and Devo, punk bands that emerged during the 1970s, reconvened for "SNL50: The Homecoming Concert" at New York City's Radio City Music Hall in February. It was here that the bands talked about doing one last kick off together. "Believe or not, we've never done more than a festival or two together in all this time," B-52s lyricist Cindy Wilson said in a news release. "This will be amazing and I can't wait for The B-52s to share these stages with Devo."

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.'
