B-52's Bringing Their Funplex To Australia

Local News, By JackT, 11th June, 2009

After several persistent (but fruitless) rumours in recent times, The B-52s will at last return to Australia this November. The new wave originals will perform at six ‘a day on the green’ winery events, as well as a few special theatre shows.

Having ruled the ‘70s with a raft of hits, The B-52s set the template for many to follow. They’ve kept up a steady work rate, too, releasing their eighth album Funplex last year. Their last full Australian tour was way back in 1990 (Sydney got lucky with a one-off night in 2004), so the fervour for their live show is sure to be overwhelming.

The B-52s land at the following shows this summer. Tickets on sale Monday 22 June.

December
Wed 2 – Costa Hall, Geelong VIC
Thurs 3 – The Forum, Melbourne
Sat 5 – A Day On The Green, Peter Lehmann Wines, Barossa Valley, SA
Sun 6 – A Day On The Green, Sandalford Wines, Swan Valley WA

own private idaho is one of my all time faves... love that they're still going, and sticking to what they do best! (although i think their hairstyles combined are personally responsible for the hole in the ozone layer).
