DEVO just announced they’re returning to the road for their ’50 Years of De-Evolution…Continued’ tour from May through August.
These 16 shows — including three festival dates and a special guest slot opening for My Chemical Romance in Chicago — are the latest leg of the group’s farewell tour, which began in earnest in 2023 yet shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
“I’m looking forward to 2073,” Mark Mothersbaugh, who has scored everything from the “Rugrats” theme song to Wes Anderson films, joked in an interview with The Guardian two years ago. “We’ll play 100th anniversary Devo shows and then maybe retire.”
On this go-round, Mark Mothersbaugh and the witty avant-garde hitmakers behind “Whip It,” “Uncontrollable Urge,” Gut Feeling” and so many more iconic, ironic anthems are scheduled to drop into Brooklyn’s Paramount Theater on Tuesday, May 6.
Prior to that, they’re set to perform at Radio City Music Hall’s star-studded “SNL: The Homecoming Concert” on Feb. 14 alongside David Byrne, Jack White, The B-52s and more.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming DEVO shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the ’50 Years of De-Evolution…Continued’ tour is Friday, Feb. 7.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.
Fun fact: In a 1997 interview with The AV Club, Mothersbaugh explained that the DEVO can be pronounced “de-VOE” or “DEE-vo” and when sounded out differently, the words have opposite meanings.
“de-VOE is a personal pronunciation that members of the band have used amongst themselves from the very beginning…so it has kind of a more French feel when you’re talking about high de-VOE and it has more of a hillbilly fell when you talk about low DE-vo. It’s subtle differences that are absolutely meaningless to just about anybody other than a half dozen people who created the concept 20-some years ago.”
