Athens, Georgia new wave rock band the B-52’s embarked on a North American Tour celebrating their 40th Anniversary. The B-52’s brought along special guests OMD and Berlin as direct support.
On a beautiful night on September 19th, 2019 the B-52’s brought their 40th Anniversary Tour to The Mann in Philadelphia, PA.
After openers OMD & Berlin finished their sets, fans waited in anticipation for the B-52’s to take the stage. After a brief break, the lights went out and the B-52’s arrive.
