‘Wild Planet,’ indeed

The B-52s have announced a farewell tour, beginning this summer and carrying on through the fall. Unfortunately, Canada isn’t among the stops on the band’s trek.

The original party rockers’ “final tour of planet Earth” begins June 22 in Seattle, with support from the Tubes and KC & the Sunshine Band on select stops. With no shows in Canada at present, performances in Seattle, Boston and New York all look like easy cross-border trips, or maybe the band’s three-night stand at the Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas, or two back-to-back evenings at the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco would be more attractive if you’re looking to “Party Out of Bounds.
