30 YEARS AFTER MAKING MUSIC HISTORY, THE GO-GO’S TO SAY GOODBYE
April 27, 2010 (LOS ANGELES, CA) – After 30 years together and a slew of chart-topping songs that defined an era, the Go-Go’s announce Happily Ever After – The Farewell Tour. Happily Ever After kicks off July 7, 2010 at Lilith Fair in San Diego, wraps up July 27 in Austin, and will include a live television performance on Good Morning America, July 16 in New York City.
In 1981, the Go-Go’s delivered Beauty And The Beat hot on the heels of their debut U.S. single “Our Lips Are Sealed.†The album garnered double-platinum status, reaching number one and becoming the first to top the Billboard charts by an all-female band that wrote and performed their own songs. 1982’s Vacation and 1984’s Talk Show continued their chart and radio successes and cemented the Go-Go’s as one of the most iconic and beloved groups of the 80s. The Go-Go’s released a much-celebrated anthology, Return to the Valley of The Go-Go’s in 1994, and 2001 marked the last studio album of new material, God Bless The Go-Go’s
Their story truly is a punk version of the American Dream. They came, they saw and they conquered the charts and airwaves with their kicky kitsch and sparkling California appeal. Their smash hits, such as “We Got the Beat,†“Vacation,†“Head Over Heels,†and the aforementioned “Our Lips Are Sealed,†along with countless magazine covers, television performances, and high-profile concert tours, turned Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey, Gina Schock and Kathy Valentine into certified rock stars, and five feisty role models for generations of ready-to-rock girls. From their halcyon days as America’s sweethearts to their current status as superstars who pioneered a genre, the Go-Go’s preside over an amazing three-decade reign as high priestesses of pop.
Today, with the original lineup intact, the Go-Go’s live show continues to deliver every bit of the raw energy of their now-legendary punk beginnings, tempered with the wisdom of three decades of pop perfection. Don’t miss them on this farewell tour as they celebrate with, and say goodbye to, their devoted fans, before the Go-Go’s head into the happily ever after.
Will be there at the Granada in Dallas on July 26! I was late to the party on the Go Gos, so this will be my first (and apparently last) time to ever see them perform live.
Cannot Wait!
Hi,
Is there ANY chance at all of coming to the midwest on one of your open dates-say July 12 or 13. I know St. Louis gets left out all the time, but no Chicago?! I may need to be making a serious road trip.
No Michigan dates? Jane, things are tough enough here already! Hope y’all make it this way …
30 years and still rockin, kinda sad to see a farewell tour. The Go-Gos have always helped make any dark day brighter. You’re the best Jane!
Please come to Chicago!!!! I grew up with The Go-Go’s. Will love you always esp. Jane and Belinda…
