The B-52s are celebrating their enduring legacy with the reissue of their David Byrne-produced Mesopotamia EP, featuring previously unreleased tracks, while also announcing a joint North American tour with DEVO set for fall 2026. The band reflects on their 1989 hit and quirky new-wave style, which blended absurd lyrics with energetic performances, and marks the 40th anniversary of their album Bouncing Off the Satellites. Meanwhile, a festival appearance in France was canceled due to a tornado, and the group continues to be recognized for their distinctive sound and offbeat charm.
