Go-Go’s to end tour at the Paramount Aug. 28
UPDATE: According to Texas Music editor Richard Skanse, who recently put Kathy Valentine on the cover, the Go-Gos decided, during their hiatus, to not bill this as their farewell tour. We thank him for the clarification. Also, the band played Antone’s on their 2008 tour.
The Go-Gos will embark this summer on a tour, which was postponed last year when guitarist Jane Wiedlin suffered a bad fall while hiking in Northern Calif. According to the itinerary on Pollstar, the new wave girl group pioneers will play at the 1,000-capacity Paramount Theatre in Austin Aug, 28.
Go-Gos bassist Kathy Valentine is an Austin native who still lives here. On their 2008 tour the band booked a show at Antone’s, a much smaller venue than the rest of the itinerary.

They’ve actually changed the name of the tour to “Ladies Gone Wild.” Per the press release, the “farewell” angle seems to have been put on ice, and the focus is now on the 30th anniversary of “Beauty and the Beat.” So Austin might not actually be the “final” show anymore:
