The Go-Go's Recruit Best Coast for Farewell Tour

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Mar 21, 2016

Eighties icons the Go-Go's will be winding things down for good this summer, and the band have just mapped out plans for a farewell tour.

The group haven't recorded new material since 2001's God Bless the Go-Go's, though they have been touring on-and-off since its release. Now, they're ready to say goodbye with one final string of shows.

The upcoming dates will see the band's classic lineup of Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey and Gina Schock take the stage. Joining them as the supporting act for the majority of the North American jaunt are Best Coast.

"After a 38-year run, we are gearing up for one last blast of a summer tour," the group said in a statement. "We feel so lucky and so grateful to have had the incredible support of our fans for so long. We can't wait to get out on the road and give the people what they want: some loud, fast music and a great party!"

The show will roll through Toronto on August 16, marking the only Canadian stop on the tour. Find the full list of dates below.
