The B-52s soared in 1989, propelled by the bands first Top 10 hits Love Shack and Roam. They were breakthrough singles from the Athens, Georgia-based groups fifth studio release, Cosmic Thing. That record reached #3 on the Billboard Album Chart, sold more than four million copies in the U.S., and burnished the B-52s reputation as the Worlds Greatest Party Band.

It will be the 30th anniversary of Cosmic Thing this summer and the B-52s are taking the party on the road with an extensive tour of Europe and the U.S. (see below for dates). Also, Rhino will introduce an anniversary edition of the album that features newly remastered sound, B-sides, remixes and unreleased concert recordings from 1990s Cosmic Tour.
