The Go-Go's to reunite for 11-city concert tour

The Go-Go's, the most commercially successful all-woman rock band in recording history, are getting back together for a 2020 summer reunion tour. All the dates and cities appear below, along with ticket information.

The 11-show reunion tour comes four years after The Go-Go's 2016 farewell tour and two years after the Los Angeles quintet's members got back together for a 40th anniversary tour in 2018.

It was also in 2018 that "Head Over Heels" debuted as a short-lived Broadway musical. It was based on songs by the Go-Go's, who in the early 1980s became the first chart-topping, all-female rock band that wrote and performed its own music. The Bangles, who debuted in 1981, came in a close second. A San Diego production of "Head Over Heels" will open May 21 at Diversionary Theatre.

The upcoming reunion tour by The Go-Go's will follow the new Showtime documentary, "THE GO-GO'S," which is directed by Allison Wood. It will premiere at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, which was to open Thursday in Park City, Utah. No information has been provided yet on a general release date for the film.

"THE GO-GO'S" chronicles the band's rise from the late 1970s L.A. punk-rock scene and its subsequent transformation into a chart-topping pop-rock act, which sold millions of albums and scored such Top 10 hits as "We Got the Beat" and "Vacation." The band first split up in 1985, then reunited a number of times during the intervening decades.

Tickets for The Go-Go's 2020 reunion tour go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.com for all cities except Los Angeles; those tickets go on sale Jan. 31. A pre-sale for five of the concerts on the second half of the tour begins Thursday at 10 a.m.
