THE B-52S IN CONCERT:
Since forming in 1976, The B-52s have always stood out for their thrift-store chic style and ability to craft catchy, retro-inspired hits. Over the years they might have let their beehives down, but every-thing else about the band is still as tight as it was 30 years ago. Their call-and-response choruses always get fans singing along, and their fun and funky grooves will have you dancing right along with the band. The B-52s are taking their party atmosphere to select cities across the U.S. on their 2015 tour, bringing all their cool style and flamboyant fun to a town near you.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Named after a particular type of beehive hairdo, The B-52s rocketed out of Athens, Georgia in the late ’70s. Starting with their smash hit “Rock Lobster”, the band developed a reputation for campy fun and catchy melodies that carried over to other favorites like “Planet Claire” and “Private Idaho”. By the end of the decade, the band achieved a major mainstream radio breakthrough with the hits “Love Shack” and “Roam”. The band stayed relevant into the ’90s, appearing in The Flintstones live action movie (as “The BC-52’s”) and performing the theme song from the Nickelodeon cartoon Rocko’s Modern Life. Almost 40 years later, this zany garage band is still having a blast -- and still sounds like a blast from the past.
Great crowd awesome show still sound great but clearly showing their age a bit
Second time to see the B52’s at the Venetian. Warm up DJ, DJ Cummerbund was great. The B52’s had everyone on their feet dancing the whole show.
So happy to see the group! The energy and enthusiasm was buzzing throughout venue.
I expected more, very short presentation, the man singer is too old and at some point he disappears for at least 3 songs. It was just one hour show.
they played for about 80 minutes. over all sound quality and the music was very good! the crowd was completely into each and every song. never sat down for their entire set. great show!!!
Having a DJ warm up the audience for 35-40 minutes with a slide show (something I could have seen on tv) is not my ifea of a good 1st act. B52’s finally came out, played their songs a little over an hour and were done. It was clear to audience they were not coming out for an encore so we left. If they did do an encore we didn’t see it. I don’t feel it was worth the price of the good seats that I purchased.
Loved every minute of it! Great energy and loved all the songs!
I've been a fan since college in the 80s. They still sound the same, amazing! They played all the popular ones and more. They llok great and sound great. My wife and I will definitely be back for more in September. Thank you for making our lives a little better.
The venue-Venetian theatre-was beautiful. The band was excellent. The music was wonderful. The whole experience was magical.
Venue- Beautiful. Pretty good seats. B-52'S were so much fun. Dancing the night away
