New wave band Devo have announced a summer and fall packed with exciting activity as they celebrate 50+ years of their career.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees recently announced their co-headlining “Cosmic De-Evolution Tour” with the legendary group, The B-52s, starting in September. The 11-date run will continue to serve as the band’s concert farewell tour and will kick off in Toronto before wrapping in Houston this November. All tickets for the tour are on sale now. For more information, visit ClubDevo.com.

The band’s much-awaited documentary, DEVO, will be released in August. The highly anticipated film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024 and will hit Netflix on August 19. The documentary explores the band’s formation, rise to fame and their lasting cultural impact across not only music, but activism and art. Fans will get a glimpse behind the scenes as the film includes rare archival footage and interviews.

Devo and Primary Wave will also launch their bi-weekly YouTube series – Devolutionary Times – which will premiere newly restored Devo videos and films. Dipping into the archives as far back as 1976, the videos will roll out chronologically starting with the release of “The Truth About De-Evolution!” on Monday.

“The films and videos are newly restored to pristine quality ready to jump off your laptops or mobile devices! Get ready for a Cornucopia of Devo,” Devo co-founder and co-lead vocalist Gerald Casale said about the new YouTube series.

Alice Cooper, host of “Nights With Alice Cooper” and “Alice’s Attic,” will be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.

Cooper, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, is only the second artist to be inducted as a performer in both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Radio Hall of Fame.

The first person to earn this twin honor was R&B legend James Brown.

In all, the Museum of Broadcast Communications announced the selection of ten new inductees into the Radio Hall of Fame for 2025. The inductees will be honored at the in-person 2025 Radio Hall of Fame Induction ceremony, to be held on October 30 at the Swissotel Hotel in Chicago.

I cannot wait to celebrate the careers and impact of these men and women who’ve made a forever positive impact on the radio industry!”

Legendary musician and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer John Fogerty has released two new recordings of Creedence Clearwater Revival classics “Born On The Bayou” and “Lodi.”

The tracks are the latest previews of Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years, which features newly recorded versions of his most beloved songs – from “Proud Mary” and “Bad Moon Rising” to “Fortunate Son” and “Have You Ever Seen The Rain.”

The album is due for release on August 22nd, via Concord.

The new recordings of “Born On The Bayou” and “Lodi,” released 50+ years after the original versions, bring out new emotional depth in Fogerty’s iconic voice.

The process of recreating these tunes, backed by his sons Shane and Tyler, required Fogerty to relearn his spontaneous guitar riffs and also revisit some of the darker times that inspired songs like Lodi, which tells the story of a musician stuck in a small town, yearning to break through.

“When it came time to sing ‘Lodi,’ I noticed that my voice seemed to have a little extra character in it from the guy who sang this same song 50+ years ago,” says Fogerty. “I realized that I had to do my darndest to get my mind into the same place that it was when I did the original vocal. I had to reflect and think about the words of the song, think about the times, make myself go back into that spiritual plane of existence and face that.”

The powerful 20-track collection is truly a family affair, produced by Fogerty and his son Shane Fogerty, with executive production by his wife Julie Fogerty. Both Shane and his brother Tyler Fogerty perform throughout the album, recorded with Matt Chamberlain, Bob Malone, Bob Glaub, and Rob Stone. It was mixed by legendary engineer Bob Clearmountain, resulting in vibrant and electrifying versions that breathe new life into these timeless songs.

“For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,” says Fogerty. “Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that—of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.”

The release of “Born On The Bayou” and “Lodi” follows the album’s initial trio of singles, “Up Around The Bend,” “Have You Ever Seen The Rain,” and “Porterville,” which are available now on streaming platforms.
