The B-52s will hit the road again in 2026, marking another lively chapter for one of America’s most beloved party bands. The group confirmed a new run of tour dates, blending fresh shows with a return to their Las Vegas residency.
The influential new-wave outfit will be back at The Venetian Theatre next year for an extended residency that kicks off on June 21 and continues through July 6. These shows follow the band’s earlier Vegas runs, which have consistently drawn strong crowds thanks to their vibrant visuals and feel-good setlists built around classics like “Love Shack,” “Roam,” and “Rock Lobster.”
Alongside the residency, the B-52s will also launch a set of additional tour dates across the United States. The 2026 trek includes scattered headline shows through the summer and fall, giving fans outside Vegas a chance to experience the band’s unmistakable blend of new-wave energy, surf-rock oddity, and dance-floor joy.
The current 2026 tour schedule includes Phoenix, Denver, Chicago, Boston, and Washington, D.C., among others. More dates may follow, according to sources close to the band.
The B-52s’ return to the stage comes after their widely publicized “farewell tour” in 2022–23. At the time, the band made clear they were retiring from large-scale touring, not from performing altogether. Their residency success and continued demand from fans have opened the door to these more selective, curated live appearances.
Even decades after their late-70s formation, the B-52s remain icons of the alternative world: colorful, eccentric, and proudly unlike anything else in American pop culture. Their 2026 dates promise a celebration of that legacy, complete with dancing, nostalgia, and the band’s signature sense of fun.
