Two '80s rock icons are teaming up for a one-night stand at Rogers Arena: The B-52s and DEVO will co-headline the Cosmic De-Evolution tour on Sunday, September 27, 2026.

Vancouver is the only Canadian concert stop on the eight-city North American tour. The bands will celebrate their extensive catalogue of hits with generations of fans united by what Live Nation called their "timeless hits, boundary-pushing creativity and a shared spirit of joyful rebellion."

The B-52s are three-time Grammy nominees behind classics like "Love Shack," "Roam," and "Rock Lobster." The group has performed residencies at The Venetian Las Vegas and appeared on Saturday Night Live. They've also had a professional hockey team named after one of their biggest hits.

DEVO may be best known for their 1980 hit "Whip It," but their unique music and visual style continue to draw fans across generations. A documentary about the new-wave pioneers premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024, and the group appeared on SNL50: The Homecoming Concert special.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 26, at 10 a.m. The show starts at 7 p.m. at Rogers Arena, located at 800 Griffiths Way.
