R.E.M continues to delight fans with live performances despite their disbandment in 2011.
After ending their 31-year music career as a band, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers are keeping the spirit alive with occasional shows alongside fellow artists.
Among the upcoming concerts lined up is a hometown performance of guitarist Peter Buck and Drivin' N' Cryin' frontman Kevn Kinney.
In an Instagram post shared by R.E.M’s official account, the band announced that tickets are now available for a “special two-night” event in Athens, Georgia, where the band was formed.
“Tickets are on sale for Peter and @kevnkinney312’s two shows later this month at the Rialto Room in downtown Athens. These shows sell out fast,” the caption reads.

In partnership with Aubrey Entertainment, fans will be treated to a spectacular nostalgia show featuring two of the ‘80s iconic musicians on one stage.
The event will take place at Hotel Indigo in downtown Athens, kicking off on Feb. 24 with the second night performance on Feb. 25.
Besides the duo, Buck and Kinney will share the stage with indie rock artist Jason Narducy.

The forthcoming concert will not only showcase a trip down memory lane but also the on-stage chemistry of the duo, who have performed together since the late 1980s.
In 2011, R.E.M confirmed the disbandment and officially called it quits after three decades of rock and roll music.
At the time, the band explained that the decision was amicable and expressed deep gratitude to fans for supporting them throughout the highs and lows of their music career.
“To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band,” as mentioned on their website. “We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music.”
However, fans were thrilled when all four members, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe and Bill Berry made a surprise appearance at a reunion show. This was in February 2025 at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia, delivering a memorable performance of “Pretty Persuasion.”
