Devo kicks off their 2025 North American tour today, May 1, in Philadelphia. The tour, titled “50 Years of De-Evolution… Continued!”, runs through August and now includes additional festival performances in September. This leg continues the farewell celebration that began in 2023, as the band marks 50 years of music history.
The tour features a mix of headlining concerts and major festival appearances across the United States and Canada. One of the most anticipated shows is their support slot for My Chemical Romance at Soldier Field in Chicago on August 29. With a combination of theater dates and outdoor festival sets, Devo is reaching fans in cities both big and small.
The tour brings Devo to fans from coast to coast. Performances will be held at notable venues like The Anthem in Washington, DC, MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, and The Fillmore in Detroit. Festivals include Cruel World in Pasadena and Summerfest in Milwaukee. The tour also features appearances at Project Pabst, Kilby Block Party, and Mosswood Meltdown.
Where is Devo performing, and when?
The tour begins today in Philadelphia and travels across multiple regions over four months. Devo stops in major cities like Brooklyn (May 6), Cleveland (May 11), and Columbus (June 20). Each venue offers a different concert experience, from historic theaters to modern music halls.
Festival shows are a key part of the schedule. Devo plays Kilby Block Party on May 15, Cruel World Festival on May 17, and Summerfest on June 26. In July, they perform a two-day set at Mosswood Meltdown in Oakland and headline Project Pabst in Portland on July 26.
The biggest stage is August 29 in Chicago, where Devo performs at Soldier Field alongside My Chemical Romance. And most recently, the band's website confirmed additional September performances at Shaky Knees 2025 and Ocean's Calling Festival to extend their farewell run on September 21 and September 29, respectively.
How can fans get tickets to the shows now?
While presales and general ticket sales began in February 2025, tickets are still available for many shows. Fans who missed the initial sales can find remaining tickets through platforms like Vivid Seats, Songkick, RateYourSeats, and official venue websites. These platforms list both standard and resale options.
Prices depend on location and seat type. Some tickets start around $58, while floor and VIP packages may cost more. Fans are encouraged to act quickly, as several dates—especially festival appearances and the Soldier Field show—are expected to sell out or already have limited inventory.
For last-minute buyers, check for verified resale options or ticket drops on the day of the event. Some venues may release additional seats closer to the show date, and updates can be found on Devo’s official site or social media pages.

What else should fans know about this tour?
This tour is part of their farewell journey, marking their 50-year contribution to new wave and alternative music. The setlist is expected to include classic tracks like “Whip It” along with deep cuts for longtime fans. Each concert is tailored to the venue and event, with headlining shows featuring longer sets and full production.
Festival shows may be shorter, but still deliver Devo’s signature style and performance energy. Fans attending festivals should check individual event sites for exact set times, as lineups and scheduling can vary.
Their recent announcement of additional September performances signals that demand remains high. Though full details are still rolling out, fans can expect more chances to see the band live before the tour officially concludes.
