New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The multi-platinum selling Los Angeles rock band The Go-Go's announce their 2021/2022 North American west coast dates to celebrate the band's upcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
The new live dates include intimate shows in San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, and includes New Year's Eve & New Year's Day performances at The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 25th at 10am PT and can be purchased at the links below.
"We really missed seeing and playing for our fans and we are happy we can experience and enjoy live music with each other once again. We are looking forward to celebrating and bringing in a brighter new year with everyone," says The Go-Go's.
"With concerts finally making a very welcomed return, longtime fans can celebrate with the newest inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the new generation of fans can see the band that they discovered through the documentary," says Art Cisneros, The Go-Go's Manager.
As the first multi-platinum-selling, all-female band to play their own instruments, write their own songs and soar to No. 1 on the album charts, The Go-Go's are the most successful female rock band of all time.
Rooted in the early L.A. punk scene,
Charlotte Caffey (lead guitar, keyboards, vocals),
Belinda Carlisle (lead vocals), Gina Schock (drums, percussion, vocals), Kathy
Valentine (bass guitar, vocals) and Jane Wiedlin (guitar, vocals) didn't PLAY the part of bad girls; they were genuine punk rockers. Now, this October, The Go-Go's will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside Tina Turner, Carole King, JAY-Z,
Foo Fighters and Todd Rundgren.
In 2020 the band released their documentary THE GO-GO'S, which first premiered at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews, achieving a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and won a 2020 Critics Choice Award for "Best
Music Documentary" in addition to receiving the honor of "Most Compelling Living Subjects in a Documentary." Directed by Alison Ellwood, the candid and archive-rich documentary assesses the group's place in music and the first to set the record straight about their historical ascent to global stardom. The Go-Go's first new recording in nearly 20 years, "Club Zero," hit the Top 10 on the Rock
Digital Song Sales chart upon its release and the documentary captures them working on an early version of the song.

The Go-Go's rose to fame following the release of their 1981 debut album, Beauty and the Beat, a collection of infectious tracks with huge hooks. Locked at No. 1 on the Billboard charts for six consecutive weeks, Beauty and the Beat was one of the most successful debut albums of all time, featuring the hits "
Our Lips Are Sealed" (one of Rolling Stone's 'Top 100 Pop Singles') and "We Got the Beat" and resulted in a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. The Go-Go's became a global phenomenon and blazed brand-new trails in music - for women in particular.
