The B-52s Buzz into Del Mar for Concert at the Races

The B-52s will play the first show of the Del Mar Concert Series at the Del Mar Fairgrounds during the races.

Written By Kyle Lundberg

The new wave pop rock band The B-52s will take the stage at the Del Mar Race Track on Friday, July 19.

The group members made a name for themselves in the late 70s and early 80s with their psychedelic outfits and stage antics as well as the trademark odd lyrics and driving rhythms in songs like Rock Lobster, Love Shack and Private Idaho.
