The B-52's's 1980 Concert History

The B-52's are an American new wave band that formed in 1976 in Athens, Georgia, United States. A major part of the new wave scene, the band started out as Fred Schneider (vocals), Kate Pierson (vocals, organ), Cindy Wilson (vocals, bongos), Ricky Wilson (guitar), and Keith Strickland (drums). After Ricky Wilson died in 1985, Strickland replaced him as a guitarist.

Saw the B52s at Warner theater in Wash DC in 1980.


Beth Mc Dougall Mar 04, 2020

I saw the B-52s in Milwaukee sometime between 1987-1991. I don’t see it listed here. Can anyone confirm the exact date and who they would have performed with? I remember it sold out so I had to ask everperson coming in if they had an extra ticket.
