The Go-Go's breaking up after farewell tour with Best Coast (2 NYC-area shows w/ BrooklynVegan presale)
UPDATE: PRESALE PASSWORD HERE.
New wave vets The Go-Go’s formed in 1978 and have reunited a few times since their initial 1985 breakup. They’ve been going strong since 1999, but now they’re breaking up again after a farewell tour featuring the classic line-up: Belinda Carlisle, Charlotte Caffey, Gina Schock, and Jane Wiedlin. Support on several dates comes from Best Coast, who were definitely influenced by The Go-Go’s. Also opening on all dates is pop singer Kaya Stewart (the daughter of Eurythmics’ David A. Stewart). In a statement, the band says:
After a 38 year run, we are gearing up for one last blast of a summer tour. We feel so lucky and so grateful to have had the incredible support of our fans for so long. We can’t wait to get out on the road and give the people what they want: some loud fast music and a great party!
The ‘Going Going Gone’ tour hits NYC on August 13 at Central Park SummerStage, which does not include Best Coast, and Asbury Park on August 14 at Stone Pony Summer Stage, which does. Tickets for those shows go on sale Friday (3/25) at 10 AM, and there’s a BrooklynVegan presale starting Thursday (3/24) at 10 AM for both dates. Stay tuned for the password.
