DEVO will kick off their 50th anniversary tour in Paso Robles, CA at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre before traveling up the west coast to perform in both Seattle and Portland . They’ll end the special run of dates back in Southern California at the Youtube Theater in Los Angeles and follow it up with a festival appearance at Darker Waves in Huntington Beach.

Since they released their 1973 debut record Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! the band known around the world as DEVO have remained musical and cultural linchpins for non-conformist experimentalism. By the time they smashed through to the mainstream with “Whip It” there was no turning back.

Five decades later and a eight unforgettable albums later and they still manage to captivate via their magnetic artist vision. And although the tour is billed as a farewell, by no means will you be seeing less of DEVO. They are in the process of developing a musical based on the eccentric world-building inherent to their music and are also nearto completing a “DEVO origins” feature film script.

What Is The DEVO Presale Code?

Fans who want to purchase DEVO presale tickets have two options to do so!

Fan Club Presale

A Fan Club presale will be available on Wednesday, July 26th at 10am local time through Thursday, July 27th at 10pm. To gain access to this presale, first you’ll want to select your preferred DEVO tour date . Then you’ll need to head to their official website to join their mailing list to receive access.

Live Nation Presale

A Live Nation presale will take place between  Thursday, July 27th at 10am local time  through Thursday, July 27th at 10pm.   To access the promoter presale, pick a  DEVO tour date  and then use the following presale code:  LEGEND .

Pro Tips When Buying Your Tickets

First, on the day of the presale or general onsale (whichever you prefer), login to your Ticketmaster account ( go to my account or sign in located on the upper right corner of the page ) at least 15 minutes ahead of the sale time. If you don’t have one,  create one now .

Be sure to add your billing info (aka credit card info) before jumping into the digital queue for a quick check-out. Once the presale starts, remain in the digital queue. Only use one browser window because using multiple browsers or devices and multiple accounts with the same phone number can result in errors. Trust, it’s happened to us before! Don’t refresh your page, do be patient, don’t leave your page, do get those tickets!

What To Do If Tickets Are Sold Out?

If tickets sell out, your other option is to buy them via online resellers like VividSeats or StubHub. When all else fails, we prefer these resell options because both offer a 100% Guarantee. You can also purchase resell tickets through Ticketmaster’s resell program. Just search for the concert or event you want to attend , and see if they have any resell tickets available. We recommend you compare the three options and find out which works best for you.

Alternatively, you can hit it old school style and show up at the concert when the box office opens and wish upon a star that they release more tickets, or hopefully, another concert-goer has an extra ticket to sell at face-value or even giveaway for free. Trust, this happens more often than not! We’ve given away many tickets to sold-out shows simply because our +1 couldn’t make it.

Also, more standard tickets are often released via Ticketmaster 1-3 days leading up to the show date. We’ve seen it with Beyonce , Taylor Swift , Arctic Monkeys and many more! It’s a secret gatekeeped by many, but if you’re reading this, now you know! So be sure to set your calendar notifications!

Are They Not Memes?: Devo on How De-evolution Is More Meaningful Than Ever, as Band Celebrates 50 Years With a New Compilation and Tour

Devo was, and is, the ultimate future-proof band. When they first entered the public consciousness in the late ‘70s, Mark Mothersbaugh , Gerald Casale and company seemed impossibly ahead of their time — in a primitive-futurist kind of way — and they still do. There’s very little that you could consider dated about the 50 cuts on their new career retrospective, “50 Years of De-Evolution 1973-2023,” since their worldview always kind of seemed to be trained on offering up dystopianism with a smile and a jacked-up synth-rock beat. De-evolution, for better or worse, is timeless, and so, apparently, are the men who introduced it to the world.

Popular on variety.

The tour listings on Ticketmaster say “Devo: The Farewell Tour — Celebrating 50 Years.” But the word is, you’re not really saying farewell, right?

Mark Mothersbaugh: God, it’s so irritating that somebody in our camp let the promoter write “farewell tour” so he could sell a few extra tickets. That’s irritating to me, but I think we probably won’t be the first band that has more than one farewell tour. We can have a “Hello!” tour next, I guess, next year. We’ll do the “Welcome Back Tour” or something. …

Gerald Casale: That was a promoter-run idea. They weren’t listening to us. We said, “Listen, this is the 50th anniversary of de-evolution. So we’re saying farewell to the first 50 years of de-evolution because there’s going to be a lot more.” Because you’ve got to agree that de-evolution’s real and exponentially ramping up in front of all of our faces. And they just wanted to run with “farewell” for ticket sales. I think clearly if Devo was going to do a farewell tour, we wouldn’t call it that. I would call it the “Beginning Was the End tour,” with a snake eating its tail with a Devo hat on.  And I would reconnoiter the show and add more video interstitial elements and almost tell a historical narrative.

Mothersbaugh: Are you coming to the show?

Yes, absolutely.

Mothersbaugh: Well, then, if you come, I want you to also put it in your mind to stay healthy and I want you to come to 2073. I want you to come to our 100th anniversary show. We may not be there in flesh. We might be like those little robot things that deliver food around West Hollywood. But if we have all our sentient thoughts in that one unit, who knows? We might find out it’s even easier than being flesh and blood. We might like it better. But just keep it in mind that you want to be at the 2073 show.

I may have to send my avatar to that one, to watch your avatars.

Mothersbaugh: We’ll make sure you get your computer.

With the new collection, did you get very involved with that or just kind of sign off on Rhino’s efforts?

Casale: Oh, we actually were working in close collaboration with the people at Rhino. They wanted that, and of course we wanted the same. So I feel really good about how it came out, and I think we curated it pretty well. And I like the package. You know, maybe 20 years ago, WEA out of Japan assembled a complete collection of every release we ever made on Warner as a collection of CDs with the original artwork and everything, just scaled down, in a box. It was really beautifully done and well thought out and kind of a novelty, and that’s the only other thing I’ve ever seen that was really quality. I felt like we needed this.

Do you feel like it’s pretty obvious what people want in a collection like this? Or were there any sort of eras or songs where you were thinking, Okay, here’s a chance to give this a little bit of an airing again, things that were not hits.

Casale: The answer is yes to all of that. With Devo, hits and misses are really an irrelevant misnomer kind of thing. It’s either sounding more in the zeitgeist or way out, far out on the fringe. We like it all because we were an experimental collaborative group, and we weren’t cynically trying to write hits. So if we put something on a record, we liked it. And some of those things were esoteric tastes that a lot of people didn’t like and other things connected with a larger group, so we span that whole gamut.

A bit earlier than this new set, you had a limited-edition collection that just focused on your earlier, pre-commercial years, “Art Devo.”

Mothersbaugh: Those actually required more digging around the basement than the Rhino release. I like both releases, because they do have a different tilt to each one, and we tried not to overlap, though I’m sure there’s a couple things that do. But that one is a lot of stuff that nobody’s ever heard. Matter of fact, I hadn’t even heard a lot of the stuff till we dug the tapes up and started transferring them to digital and cleaning them up. I like both of them. They have different mandates that complement each other.

You’ve said that when you were coming up in Akron in the mid-‘70s, there were basically two clubs in the area you could play without getting physically attacked, or something like that. Fair to say you felt alienated from the culture of your contemporaries at the time?

Casale: I guess we were alienated, but we felt more like aliens. We weren’t alienated like, you know, existential punks or something. We felt like we were looking at a world that seemed like another planet. It’d be like if you were an alien in a spaceship with a monitor and you were just watching life on earth and commenting on it. That’s how removed we felt.

It’s always fascinating to look back at musicians in the ‘70s, when we were coming out of the counterculture years, who were resisting that as well as the old culture that the counterculture was supposed to be rebelling against. Artists like yourselves who didn’t have a lot of regard for maintaining traditions of any sort, musically or in your attitudes.

But for a Patti Smith or Television, costuming is not going to be a big part of it. Did you feel like there were antecedents for some of the theatrical or really conceptual stuff?

Casale: Sure we did. In college, I studied art history extensively and had a great professor who showed us all the stuff I’d never seen before during the Bauhaus era. Dadaists were actually doing performance art before there was a word for performance art. And they would put on these theatrical performances that were confrontational, and they would wear outrageous costumes, designed to piss off the audience, actually, or be clowny, or whatever. And of course, the immediate antecedents were the Beatles and the early ‘60s London scene and, frankly, American R&B — people trying to look good in cool suits and flashy clothes that made them appealing. But we took it more from the Dadaists: OK, we’re meta. We’re gonna wear these three industrial suits that are foolish-looking by many people’s standards, but we’ll be able to rip them off because they’re disposable, and we’ll be able to use it as a theatrical device live. It was really effective, and we were multimedia on purpose from the beginning, and making short films was part of the mantra. It was confrontational and we would get threatened, attacked, beer bottles thrown at us, you know, people jump on stage, rip the microphones out of our hand, push us around — all of it happened. And of course that excited us. We thought, wow, if these people that we’re looking at hate us that much, let’s keep doing it.

Because we were so isolated in these basements and garages, we honed our “act.” So we showed up on the scene fully formed, and people were stunned, either positive or negative. But I think that’s what sold David Bowie, Brian Eno, Iggy Pop; they all got it. And we found ourselves in Germany with Connie Plank and Brian Eno and visits from David Bowie in these insane, intense, 12-14-hour days in a barn for three weeks in the winter.

You’ve said Eno was great as a producer of your first album because he kind of let you do your thing. And then he added a lot of ideas that didn’t really make it onto the finished mixes.

And somehow you became more palatable to the wider rock culture despite yourselves… although there were deliberate shifts in sound.

Mothersbaugh: For “Art Devo,” I pulled out a lot of the stuff out of the pre-Warner Bros. days, back when Bob and Jim and Jerry and me were the band, because that to me was kind of Devo at our most high-art position. After that, we decided that it was going to require a subversion for us to enter the market. We thought people were just going to love us for what we were, and they didn’t. So we thought, OK, plan B: We’re going to sneak vitamins and minerals into their food without them knowing it. We’re going to use Madison Avenue techniques. And we started making our things more succinct, more easy to understand, and it worked.

We always thought, “Wait a minute. This should be bigger. How come nobody’s paying attention to what we’re doing?” But we knew it wasn’t going to be easy. I remember a time when Joni Mitchell, who had the same manager as us, and I bumped into each other in the hallway at the manager’s office. And she goes, “Are you Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo?” I go, yeah. She goes, “Hey, I’m going to be in this movie. And I’m carrying a ghetto blaster on my shoulder, and I want a song to play on the ghetto blaster. And I’m thinking I want it to be that song on your new album, ‘Swelling Itching Brain.’ Do you mind if I use that?” I go, “No, that sounds great! Why do you want that song?” She goes, “Because it’s the most irritating, obnoxious song I’ve ever heard in my whole life.” And I go, “ Please use it.”

So Joni Mitchell has somehow deliberately listened to music she considers obnoxious and abrasive. What was the result of that?

Mothersbaugh: Well, I don’t know what the part was. I don’t even know what the movie was. It just made me laugh that that’s what she had to say to me.

How did some of the other established rock giants relate to you?

I got Mick Jagger to put a pair of headphones on sideways. He had this rhythm he wanted to move up. I said, well, how do you want the synth to sound? And he’s going “boom, bop, bop, doo, bop, doo, bop.” And so I put a sound into the Prophet synthesizer and he was doing that into a vocoder. … You would have had to have done the kind of synthesizer sounds that I hated to put a synth on that song… something tasteful and small, in the back of this kind of romantic, soft, lazy song. On one hand, I was totally freaked out that I was in the same room with those guys. And on the other hand, I was totally freaked out because I thought, “This song, the last thing it needs is a synthesizer.” And so I put this thing on his face and we put this part out on their song, and I think you can hear a tiny bit of it in the song at the end of the album when it came out. But … um, why am I telling you that story?

Keith Richards was friends with my brother, Bob. He later told Bob, “What guy in your band put that part on my song? I want to stab him in the heart with a knife.”

Certainly Devo entered the culture even in subliminal ways. The words “devolve” and “de-evolution” weren’t really a concept before you guys were around, and now you hear those words all the time. Like, every time there is a political debate.

Casale: Yeah, it quit being a polarizing term. It quit being something that pissed people off. Now it’s just like oh, yeah, de-evolution, right — you know, it’s real. As a matter of fact, last year … the Webster’s Dictionary, they pick words of the year. Last year it was “Devolve.” They showed hundreds and hundreds of references. mostly political articles, some social science articles and behavioral articles about sociobiology, but it’s everywhere. And you’re correct when now you watch the news and it all seems like an episode of “Black Mirror.” I mean, you don’t need the Onion anymore because it’s all the Onion, right? It’s that devolved.

Mothersbaugh: I have to say, the word “de-evolution” first became a word in our vernacular in the ‘30s. It was Christians having a response to Darwinism, and they made jokes and ridiculed evolution. Not long after Jerry found the book “In the Beginning Was the End: How Man Came into Being Through Cannibalism,” in which they talk about de-evolution, I found a pamphlet later on from the ‘30s by a reverend from Ohio, called “Jocko Homo: Heaven Bound King of the Apes.” And you open it up and there’s a picture of a staircase on the way to heaven, and every stair says like, World War I, World War II, murder, insanity, drug use… and there’s an ape sitting there chewing on a leg bone, knelt down in front of the staircase, and then standing up behind him, smiling, there’s a devil holding a pitchfork, and across his chest it says, “De-evolution.” I think that’s maybe the oldest use of that term, and so it did exist back in the ‘30s.

There is the saying about the arc of the universe bending toward justice, and right now, de-evolution seems more like it.

Casale: It’s more like what George Orwell said about “history is the boot coming down in the face of humanity over and over again.”

And, yet, with Devo, that can sound a little fun while that medicine’s going down.

Casale: That’s it. We threw in a spoonful of sugar.

Mothersbaugh: We were hoping that people were going to avert the kind of stuff that’s facing us right now, and they could have, but greed and stupidity allowed us to keep pushing it further and further to the brink, and now we’re going to see if we can back it up or not. And we may not. Maybe humans have destroyed the planet for all nature. Hopefully we haven’t. I think before I met Gerry. I read this book called “Population Bomb,” by a sociologist in the U.S., and everybody hated him and wrote hate letters to him for this book. But he said: Do the math. Humans have consistently doubled, tripled, quadrupled to the point where we will have depleted the oceans and have eaten everything that you can eat on this planet. And the only hope for planet earth is that the planet will retaliate against humans and kill us off with a virus and save Planet Earth. He said, the other possibility is nuclear war, and then that’s bad for all of nature. And so, at 19, I pledged I would never have kids because of that. I said, “I’m not bringing more humans onto the planet. That’s the one thing I could do. I’m not famous. I’m not rich. Nobody cares about what I think, but I could be one of the people to volunteer not to bring another human on the planet.”

Did that decision continue to feel good over time?

So do you try not to be too pessimistic about the world, just for their benefit?

Mothersbaugh: Oh, you know what? Honestly, I’m still not that pessimistic. I’ve got a feeling that the people that are in control of governments around the world are insane, and that the people that want to be the president of this country, they’re the crazies, and it’s like, I could imagine that guy holding the steering wheel and jamming on the gas going, “Hey, I’m 85. I don’t care” and then going over the edge and taking everybody with him.

But I also imagine that there’s enough people in this world that have kids — and that’ll help if you have kids, and have a connection to the future — that are going to say, “We’re not going to let this guy do that. We’re not going to let some oligarch somewhere, whatever country that oligarch is in, destroy everything for everybody.” So I’m still voting for that side of the card.

Moving back from the fate of humanity to this tour… Mark, you’ve said that you’re comfortable playing the classic material. And you’ve said that if you go see a band of a certain age, you don’t necessarily want to hear fresh stuff. Is that how you feel, being out there and doing shows this year?

Mothersbaugh: Yeah, honestly, I don’t want to hear… OK, pick somebody. Name a band, so I don’t have to pick a band’s name.

Like, the Rolling Stones?

Mothersbaugh: [not hearing] Who?

The Stones?

Mothersbaugh: Oh, OK, I thought you said something else. You know, I thought I was invincible back in the ‘70s [with hearing issues], and I never used in-ear monitors or anything. And playing with orchestras is deceptively loud, I gotta tell ya. If you’re sitting in Abbey Road and you’ve got a hundred-piece orchestra in the next room crashing away on “Thor: Ragnarok” or “Lego” or “Cocaine Bear,” even, they’re pretty goddamn loud! I thought I was invincible, but I wasn’t.

But yeah, the Rolling Stones — oh, God, I want to hear the old stuff. I want to hear the stuff that was on “The TAMI Show” and their very best stuff. I want to hear “Last Time” and “Get Off My Cloud” and definitely “Satisfaction.” “Street Fighting Man” and anything earlier than that is great as far as I’m concerned, and then the other stuff … You know, sometimes you just keep doing it anyhow, and I guess that stuff means something to somebody. And it might be that somebody that was 12 years old when they first heard “Wild Horses,” and they love it. But, to me, “Wild Horses,” that’s when I said, “Uh-oh, it’s over for them.” That’s how I felt when I heard it. I thought, “Yeah, I don’t need to hear another new Rolling Stones song.”

I remember you saying in the past, Gerry, that as some of the records got pretty synthesized at some point, maybe the fact that Devo rocked sometimes got undervalued. So when you do shows now, do the shows rock? Is that safe to say?

You guys tour fairly rarely. What does it take for you to get back in kind of a touring mindset and play those songs?

Mothersbaugh: I got out of touring just because, every night I was on stage, I used to throw myself around, and I would make enough noise that, by the end of the show… I remember being 26 or 27 and going, “This is really hard. I don’t know if I can do this when I’m 30.” And now I’m 73, and you know, Gerry’s even older than me. But he was jumping around on stage on these shows and he looked great. Bob Mothersbaugh plays better than he ever did. We have a guy, Jeff Friedl, playing drums now. He’s excellent. And Josh (Hager) on guitar and keyboard, replacing Bob Casale, is really good.  And I’m hanging in there. You know, I had to modify some stuff — I’m not cannonballing into the audience anymore. But based on the reaction from the audiences, I think people like it and think it sounds pretty good. So I’m enjoying that.

It’s kind of fun to get out of this room you see behind me. I sit here every day for the last 30 years, writing music for like 150 different films and television series and video games. You know, my ass got too wide because of that.

DEVO The Farewell Tour Celebrating 50 Years Comes To BroadwaySF's Golden Gate Theatre

Devo's music and visual presentation (including stage shows and costumes) mingle kitsch science fiction themes, surrealist humor, and satirical social commentary.

(((folkYEAH!))) and Ambassador Theatre Group present DEVO – The Farwell Tour Celebrating 50 Years on Tuesday, November 14 at 8 p.m. at BroadwaySF's Golden Gate Theatre (1 Taylor St., San Francisco). Tickets (starting at $67.50) go on-sale to the general public on Friday, July 28 at 10 a.m. at broadwaysf.com .   Devo's music and visual presentation (including stage shows and costumes) mingle kitsch science fiction themes, surrealist humor, and mordantly satirical social commentary. The band's namesake, the tongue in cheek social theory of "de-evolution", was an integral concept in their early work, which was marked by experimental and dissonant art punk that merged rock music with electronics. Their output in the 1980s embraced synth-pop and a more mainstream, less conceptual style, though the band's satirical and quirky humor remained intact. Their music has proven influential on subsequent movements, particularly on new wave, industrial and alternative artists. Devo was also a pioneer of the music video format.

Celebrating 50 Years: Time To Say Goodbye

Time To Say Goodbye Concert Tour

September 2024 - Jan 2025

The Priests, who rose from obscurity to global music stardom, achieving multi-platinum status worldwide and a Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling debut by a UK Classical Act, have announced their farewell concerts after 50 years of a remarkable musical journey.

2024 is a special anniversary year for The Priests.  Having performed their first musical collaboration in 1974 as schoolboys in St MacNissi’s College, they celebrate 50 years of an enduring musical association that has lasted throughout the intervening years to today. 

Having achieved millions of record sales, received multiple awards, travelled the globe, and played countless concerts as The Priests, Fr Eugene, Fr Martin and Fr David have decided that this is an appropriate time to say farewell to performing as a group.

The trio have announced  concerts at the end of the year which will celebrate their golden jubilee and close the door on what has been an unexpected adventure. Tickets are on sale from today via venues or www.ticketmaster.ie

“When we signed our recording contract in 2008, we had a line put in it that said our music career would never encroach on our diocesan work.   As times change, and we get a little older, this is becoming more and more difficult to co-ordinate.  Our 50th anniversary seems the right time to step back from performing live as a group” said Fr Eugene.  “These concerts will be a chance to express our heartfelt thanks to the very many people who have supported and encouraged us on our musical journey over the years”.

“We have had the time of our lives, it has been a dream come true”, says Fr Martin , “but alas, all dreams must come to an end”.

Said Fr David, “ It has been the most unexpected of journeys, an experience we will never forget, with many highlights too numerous to mention.  There is no doubt we will never stop singing, and we remain lifelong friends, but The Priests as a musical group, will end their voyage here”.

Fathers Eugene and Martin O’Hagan and David Delargy became known as  The Priests  when in April 2008 they signed a recording contract in front of Westminster Cathedral. The event featured in Sir Trevor McDonald’s concluding comments that very evening in the national news and subsequently in the international print media, even making the front cover of Time Magazine.

Their debut album, The Priests, partly recorded in St Peter’s Basilica in Rome, and released in over 40 countries, earned them a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest selling debut album for a classical act in the UK, as well as gold and platinum discs for sales throughout Europe and Australia in addition to topping the classical Billboard chart in the USA.  

The subject of a tv documentary charting their journey from the steps of Westminster Cathedral to the release of their first album and of two specials featuring their live concerts recorded in the cathedrals of Armagh and Liverpool, they self-authored a book, Soul Song, Reflections on an Unexpected Journey  (2010). Their first three albums, The Priests, 2008, Harmony 2009 and Noel 2010 were each nominated as Classical Album of the Year in the Classical Brit Awards. Suddenly, The Priests were sharing the red carpet with their heroes in the classical music world and attracting a fair amount of paparazzi attention.

The Priests have had the honour of performing for Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis, as well as for the late Queen Elizabeth II, The Duke of Edinburgh, and Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, (now King Charles and Queen Consort). 

Queens University, Belfast, the alma Mater of all three Priests who graduated from there in the 1980s, recognised The Priests’ unique and outstanding musical achievement at an international level by awarding them Graduates of the Year in 2009.

The Priests continue to serve as full time priests in the Diocese of Down and Connor in Northern Ireland. Fr Eugene is Chancellor and Vicar General of the Diocese. Fr Martin, his brother, is parish Priest of Newtownards and Comber, while Fr David is Parish Priest of the Loughshore Parishes of Greencastle, Whitehouse and St James (incorporating Whiteabbey and Greenisland). They are incredibly grateful to the unfailing support and encouragement they have received from the bishops and priests in Down and Connor Diocese and of the parishioners in those parishes where they have served over the years.

Income from music sales and concerts has funded their charitable trust, The Priests’ Foundation, which has helped build schools in Cambodia, Uganda and Thailand, and has also been used to help look after retired priests, the homeless and supply schools with music apparatus.

All three were mentioned in the Queen’s New Year honours list in 2020 and awarded MBEs in recognition of their contribution to Music and Charity in Northern Ireland.

The Oak Ridge Boys to Celebrate 50th Anniversary with Farewell Tour: 'Still Loving Every Second'

The country music legends are hitting the road together one final time

The Oak Ridge Boys

The Oak Ridge Boys are celebrating a career milestone and they want to spend it with fans. 

On Tuesday, country/gospel legends Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, Richard Sterban and William Lee Golden announced they are going on the American Made: Farewell Tour to celebrate the 50th anniversary of when the band’s current lineup played their first show together. 

Named after their hit song “American Made,” released 40 years ago in 1983, the Country Music Hall of Famers will play fan-favorites from throughout their decades-spanning career at the upcoming farewell shows. 

Bonsall, 75, shared a statement exclusively with PEOPLE about the upcoming tour. “You could have never convinced that 25-year-old Joe Bonsall in 1973 that in 50 years the four of us would still be singing together and still loving every second of it,” the singer-songwriter said. 

“Our mantra has always been LET’S SING… it still is!” Bonsall continued. “We have had our share of challenges over all these decades, but we have always persevered as men who have each always cared about doing things right and God has blessed us for it.” 

The "Elvira" artist’s bandmates also expressed excitement for their final performances in a press release. 

“We are doing a farewell tour because we owe it to our fans to say goodbye,” Golden, 84, said. “They have always been there for us through the good times and the bad. I will always be thankful to every person who came out to a show, bought a T-shirt, played our music, and overall, loved us enough to spend their hard-earned money whenever they could. This tour is for you!”

Allen, 80, also expressed his gratitude. The musician said, “Thank you so much for these 50 years. For me, it’s 57½ years. I have given you the best part of my life and you have rewarded me with a wonderful career.” 

Sterban echoed his sentiment, saying, “I want to thank God for 50 years of singing with three of my best friends and for the fans who have been there for us. This is a celebration and we hope to see you there."

PEOPLE spoke to the Grammy winners before they released their last record, Front Porch Singin' , in 2021.

Bonsall said at the time, “When the four of us join our voices together, there is still magic. There is still something there to grab a hold of. That's probably why we are still around, to be honest."

Dates and on sale information for the American Made: Farewell Tour have yet to be announced.

The Oak Ridge Boys Announce Farewell Tour, But It’s Not “Goodbye”

Photo by Brandon Wood / Indie Bling Studios

After 50 years and too many awards and achievements to count, The Oak Ridge Boys are celebrating 50 years with a tour –  American Made: Farewell Tour .

The Oak Ridge Boys, made up of members Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban, announced the tour in a press release issued Tuesday (September 19).

William Lee Golden, who joined the group as a baritone in 1965, said that they owed it to their fans to say goodbye.

“They have always been there for us through the good times and the bad. I will always be thankful to every person who came out to a show, bought a t-shirt, played our music, and overall, loved us enough to spend their hard-earned money whenever they could. This tour is for you!” Golden said.

Bass singer, Richard Sterban, added that he is thankful for 50 years of performing with his “best friends” and called the tour a celebration.

While the farewell tour may sound like it’s a permanent “goodbye” from the quartet, that is not the case.

In a statement to Country Rebel, Joe Bonsall clarified that the tour announcement does not indicate impending retirement, but it does mean that they will be “gearing down” from the rigorous schedule they’ve maintained for the past five decades.

“We are not announcing retirement as such but at this point in our lives it just seemed natural to scale it back … after pounding the road hard for 50 plus years we are not getting any younger so we are just changing the way we do business,” Bonsall wrote, adding that they plan to record in 2024 and continue touring on a smaller scale. “We still have a full schedule the remainder of this year and we are looking at 50-60 dates next year as opposed to 140 or 150.”

History of The Oak Ridge Boys

The Oak Ridge Boys were founded in the early 1940s as a gospel quartet named The Oak Ridge Quartet. That name stuck for nearly two decades before “quartet” was swapped out for “boys” and the group’s focus shifted from gospel music to country.

After a series of personnel changes during the group’s first 30 years, the current lineup of Allen, Bonsall, Golden and Sterban came together in the early ’70s and would go one to become one of only a few all-male quartets to find success in country music.

With an impressive catalog of 17 chart-topping songs like “American Made,” Bobbie Sue,” Elvira,”(I’m Settin’) Fancy Free,” The Oak Ridge Boys have made an indelible mark on country music. “The proof is in the pudding,” as they say. Not only are they members of the Grand Ole Opry, Country Music Hall of Fame, Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Vocal Group Hall of Fame, but the Oak Ridge Boys have earned more than three dozen awards (including five Grammys), and racked up twelve gold, three platinum and one double-platinum album.

Elton John bids an emotional farewell as he ends his final tour: ‘I'm trying to process it'

The music icon concluded his farewell yellow brick road tour in stockholm, sweden on july 8, by ariana brockington | today • published july 10, 2023 • updated on july 10, 2023 at 11:46 am.

After 50 years on the road, Elton John has officially bid farewell to his touring career. 

On July 8, the 76-year-old music icon completed his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour after performing hits like “Bennie and the Jets,” “Tiny Dancer,” and “Your Song” throughout his 23-song set. 

The tour, which began on September 10, 2018 — but was halted in 2020 for nearly two-years due to the pandemic — has traveled across North America, Europe and Australia, concluding in Stockholm, Sweden at the Tele2 Arena in front of thousands of fans.

24/7 New York news stream: Watch NBC 4 free wherever you are

John’s goodbye, a moment fans have been anticipating for almost five years, finally arrived when he closed the show with “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” during his encore. 

The legendary musician shared some of his tour's special moments on social media, including a photo him and his band taking their bows for the last time as the confetti trickled down and covered the audience and the stage.

“The Final Farewell, 8 July 2023,” he simply captioned the emotional moment in an  Instagram  post on July 9.

Famous friends and fans celebrated the Grammy-winning artist and his impressive, decades-long career. 

Donatella Versace wrote, “I love you so much @eltonjohn. I will forever be proud of your exceptional achievements- you are a true genius.” 

Singer Brandi Carlile said, “You did it Captain! incredible work ethic and stamina.”

She added, “Proud to know you everyday.”

Coldplay, who was playing a concert in Gothenburg, Sweden on July 8, sent a live video message that was displayed on stage for John to see. 

In the sweet clip, frontman Chris Martin told John and the crowd, “Elton, from all of us here (in Gothenburg), from all the bands and artists you’ve helped and inspired, we love you so much. We are so grateful for everything you’ve done for the AIDS Foundation, anytime you’ve been kind to anybody.” 

Martin also mentioned John’s work with the LGBTQ+ community and his influence on fashion, eyewear and the music industry. 

Numerous fans shared how John’s music has personally impacted them on his  Instagram . 

“Saying thank you seems completely inadequate!” one person commented. “But thank you, your music has kept me going on some of my darkest days. The world is a better place with you in it!”

Another wrote, “Thank you so much for everything, Elton. I love you! I crossed the world to fulfill this great dream, I came directly from Belém do Pará, northern Brazil, to see my great idol!”

Meanwhile, some longtime fans hoped that singer wasn’t bidding farewell to performing in general, just the life of being on tour.

“I hope it’s not the final curtain but if it is, happy retirement, Elton! #legend,” one Instagram user wrote. 

Another joked, “Wish you a happy retirement. Don’t forget to record new albums though.” 

John also had a message for his fans. He reflected on his lasting bond with them in a statement shared in a press release. 

“When we set off on my final tour in 2018, I couldn’t have foreseen in my wildest dreams the twists and turns and the highs and lows this tour — and the whole world — would have experienced in the next 5 years,” he said.

He described his farewell show in Sweden as “magical.” 

“I’m trying to process it, and I don’t think it will sink in for a while yet that I’m finally finished touring,” he said. “I can’t tell you how much I’m going to miss the fans and how much their support has humbled me — it will stay with me forever.”

Cate’s Spotlight: Bristol To Celebrate 200th Anniversary Of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour

SAVE THIS DATE ~ September 29, 2024 . This is going to be a big deal! On September 27, 1824, the “Guest of the Nation”, Marquis de Lafayette, visited Bristol, starting at Adam’s Hollow Creek, under the “Welcome Friend” Arch that still hangs proudly in the Bristol Borough Hall. It continues to greet newcomers as well as locals.

‘Welcome Friend’ has served Bristol as its motto since a wooden sign greeted the Marquis de Lafayette on his ‘Farewell Tour of America’ in 1824.

In 1824, the United States was in the throes of a very contentious national Presidential election. Our country was divided and in turmoil. President James Monroe thought it would be a good idea to bring back the last living American General from the Revolutionary War for a short tour of popular cities as a way to celebrate the nation’s 50th anniversary and reignite its patriotism. 

Bristol is bringing meaningful history to life with style! This will be accomplished through informative programming in a grandly recreated, educational, and entertaining celebration on Sunday, September 29 at 2 p.m.

The Procession will begin a block away from Saint Mark Church, from Adam’s Hollow Bridge that crosses Adam’s Hollow Creek, the northern limit of Bristol Borough. It will continue down the banner lined Radcliffe Street to the corner of Radcliffe and Mill Streets for the festivities and speeches, including a formal dedication of the Lafayette Mural that has been gifted by Bob Marquis, Daniel and Amanda Yaeger of BMP Development, and crafted by freelance artist/ graphic designer/ muralist Jared Bader.

Lafayette was a skilled soldier, an impassioned speaker, an influential motivator, and a committed diplomat, born to an extremely prominent family in France on September 6, 1757. He traveled to the United States in search of adventure and prestige and his youthful idealism and courage brought him to a session of Congress in Philadelphia. When Lafayette offered to pay his own expenses in the colonial fight for independence, Congress appointed him a Major-General. This 19 year old French general, with no combat experience, was a friend of George Washington and one of the most influential men in the American Revolution.  He also played a critical role in the French Revolution.

Lafayette was shot in the leg during the Battle of Brandywine, his very first battle, on September 11, 1777.  America’s favorite Frenchman was treated right here in Bristol, on Radcliffe Street, before traveling on to Bethlehem, PA where he recuperated from his wound. He was an abolitionist and always fought for Liberty, Equality, and Freedom.

200 years later, the Famous Fighting Frenchman returns!  The Marquis de Lafayette re-enactor, Benjamin Goldman, is an Actor/Historian, Interpreter, and Impersonator, who was born into a theatrical family.  He will arrive in a horse drawn carriage.  “I’m takin’ this horse by the reins….” [*notable quote from “Guns and Ships” from Hamilton: An American Musical, a song exploring the theme of war and the importance of strategy and leadership in the fight for freedom.]

Ben’s fluid French and impeccable French accent, cultivated when he studied abroad in Paris as an NYU undergraduate, combine for an impressive artistically-authentic portrayal. His uncanny resemblance to the youthful Lafayette, his ease with the French language and spot-on French accent, as well as his quick wit and intelligence, converge for a convincing portrayal of the young Lafayette. 

Kitsie Saldan will portray Mrs. Bessonet [who took care of Lafayette while in Bristol] and Deal Wright will play James Armistead Lafayette [who served as a spy during the Revolutionary War and received his freedom as a slave from Lafayette and honored him by taking his name].

Bristol Borough will continue its longstanding tradition of ‘Welcoming Friends’ accompanied by children in celebration attire, along with the talented musical performers of the Pennsbury Marching Band, the BCHF Community Band, the Snyder-Girotti Elementary Band, and the Bristol High school Drum Line with their high energy and motivational repertoires of stirring Revolutionary War tunes and unforgettable elegant melodies from the early years of American independence. Freemasons and Bristol’s Fire Association in dress uniform will also be in the grand procession.

Come for the History and Stay for the Fun!

Lafayette and the Farewell Tour: Odyssey of an American Idol

Presenter: Alan Hoffman

In 1824-1825 the Marquis de Lafayette visisted all 24 states as the last surviving major general of the Continental Army. This Farewell Tour was described by contemporaries as a unique and extraordinary event. Edward Everett of Massachusetts called the Tour “an event taken in all its part, unparalleled in the history of man.” In this program, Alan Hoffman, translator of Lafayette in America in 1824 and 1825 , a first-hand account of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour, will examine how Lafayette’s story-book life, role in the American Revolution, friendship with George Washington, support of American interests, and his Farewell Tour shaped his remarkable reputation. He will highlight Lafayette’s visits to cities and towns in New Hampshire to illustrate how the American people celebrated Lafayette and America during the Tour.

Arts & entertainment, design & style, travel & leisure, search concrete playground, doin' just fine: the killers have announced a late 2024 australian tour to celebrate 20 years of 'hot fuss'.

On the Las Vegas-born band's Sydney and Melbourne stops, they're playing the iconic album in its entirety.

This piece of tour news will get you smiling like you mean it: The Killers are returning Down Under before 2024 is out, announcing their latest stint on Australia's stages. The Las Vegas-born rockers were last here in November and December 2022 — including playing intimate midnight shows — and will head back across the same months this year to get local crowds singing 'Mr Brightside' and 'Somebody Told Me' again.

Hot Fuss , the album that gave the world those two beloved tracks — and 'Smile Like You Mean It', 'Jenny Was a Friend of Mine', 'All These Things That I've Done' and more — is the reason for the tour. 2024 marks 20 years since it first released, so Brandon Flowers and company are celebrating. More than that, they're playing two types of gigs on their Aussie trip. Most will be Rebel Diamonds shows, pumping through the group's hits across their entire career. In Sydney and Melbourne, however, The Killers are doing an extra night to work through Hot Fuss in its entirety.

Open up your eager eyes, Australia: destiny is calling you to those two concerts apiece in the New South Wales and Victorian capitals, at Qudos Bank Arena and Rod Laver Arena, as well as to single shows at Brisbane Entertainment Centre in the Sunshine State capital and Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville.

Sadly, the November/December timing means that The Killers won't be repeating their AFL Grand Final berth after stealing the show back in 2017. They will be in the country for the AFLW Grand Final, however, if you want to start crossing your fingers.

Given the band's lengthy back catalogue, The Killers won't just be focusing on Hot Fuss tunes at both kinds of shows on their tour, but have plenty more songs to bust out. Also likely to get a whirl as well: 'When You Were Young', 'Bones', 'Human', 'The Man' and latest single 'Bright Lights', just to name a few.

The Hot Fuss gigs have been receiving a workout in the group's hometown of late, where they played a soldout residency at Caesar's Palace from mid-August till early September.

The Killers 2024 Australian Tour Dates:

Saturday, November 30 — ​ Rebel Diamonds  — Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville ​Friday, December 6 — Rebel Diamonds — ​Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney ​Saturday, December 7 — Hot Fuss — ​Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney ​Monday, December 9 — Rebel Diamonds — ​Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Brisbane Thursday, December 12 — Rebel Diamonds — ​Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Friday, December 13 – Hot Fuss — ​Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne
