The B-52s have added a third Fox Theatre date in Atlanta after the first two shows sold out within minutes of the tickets going on sale last month.

The third date pre-sale begins Thursday at 9 a.m. and the general admission tickets will be available at 10 a.m. Friday. Disco legend KC and The Sunshine Band will be part of all three shows.

The quirky new wave act that started in Athens 35 years ago announced a farewell tour last month in 11 cities and it’s not a coincidence the very final shows will be in Atlanta not far from where they started.
