Konzert: The B-52‘s

Queer US Wave-Pop Legends

Hooray! The farewell tour launched in 2022 by the Californian wave-pop band has been extended for another year, and The B-52s are returning to Berlin—specifically to the very venue that hosted their last "goodbye" gig. Sadly, they are no longer joined by the dashing Keith Strickland on guitar; nevertheless, the remaining trio—two-thirds of whom are queer—still knows exactly how to generate good vibes, even with the help of accomplished guest musicians. By now, even the group’s former "baby," Cindy Wilson (sister of the late Ricky Wilson—the B-52s’ mastermind who passed away from AIDS-related complications in 1985—and a labelmate of Peaches as a solo artist), has entered her seventh decade; likewise, both the beehive-sporting Kate Pierson and the Hawaiian-shirt-loving Fred Schneider will have crossed the 80-year mark within the next five years. In that light, this just might be your very last chance to experience this "Cosmic Thing" live.
