The Go-Go’s have announced that this summer’s tour will be the end of the road.
This is the second time that group has announced a farewell tour but their 2010 trek was cancelled after Jane Wiedlin injured her knee. Since that time, the band has toured almost every year with a renewed vigor.
The tour will include four of the five original members of the band, Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey and Gina Schock. Kathy Valentine left in 2013 and has since been mired in litigation with the band. There has been no word on who will play bass for the final tour although Abby Travis has sat in over the last couple of years.
Wiedlin first mentioned a farewell tour in February when she posted “It is with mixed feelings that we embark on our last adventure together. What an incredible ride we have had. I hope you will continue to follow all of us on our future endeavors.”
The tour starts August 2 in Clearwater, FL and ends on August 30 with a final show at the Greek Theater in L.A.
