One of the bands that can truly say they led a generation and genre revolution, the B 52’s have solidified their position in musical history. One of the bands that defined pop rock, the B 52’s have played countless sold out shows and will continue to do so until they no longer schedule new tours. Luckily for the generations to come, the B 52’s have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

The bands origins lie within a spur of the moment jam session where the members Cindy Wilson, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland, and Ricky Wilson made a connection that would become one of the most successful pop rock bands in history. From that faithful day in 1977, the band had strived to play music that everyone would enjoy. The sound largely reminiscent of the pop pehnomenau that had occurred only a decade earlier, the B 52’s brought a new energy to the musical world that hadn’t ever been seen before. This energy translated to the fans and soon the band was playing too sold out crowds around the nation.

The B 52’s album ‘Cosmic Thing’ marked the height of their success by going platinum four times and shortly after the band fell out of the lime light but not out of the hearts of millions. With a large following powering them through their tougher times, the band continued on and having found a resurgence in their popularity, the B 52’s have produced a new album entitled ‘Funplex’ which will be the source material for their latest tour.

If you’re an old fan or a new listener, B 52 tickets go on sale soon and it’s a chance to catch a show that’s so often describe as an oldie but a goodie.
