Frontman Fred Schneider joked they were lucky to miss the storm by just ten minutes—and even more lucky that festival staff were still asking for autographs backstage. Fans were left disappointed, and the festival’s final day was scrapped due to damage. The band apologized and thanked their crew for keeping them safe. This was their last European show, but they’re hitting the road again in the U.S.—New Jersey on July 11, California on August 21—and then hitting the road with Devo on their Cosmic De-Evolution tour starting in September. So while the French gig ended with a storm, the B-52s are still far from done rocking. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
