A high-energy tribute to the music of R.E.M. and The B-52’s!Get ready to step into the vibrant, offbeat world of Athens, Georgia, as “One Night in Athens” brings together two electrifying tribute acts for an unforgettable evening of music, nostalgia, and pure alternative spirit.
Featuring The Reckoning, a dynamic tribute to R.E.M., and The Re-52’s, a high-octane celebration of The B-52’s, this one-night-only event captures the sound and soul of two of the most influential bands to emerge from the same iconic college town.
From the jangly guitars and poetic introspection of R.E.M. to the quirky, danceable new wave energy of The B-52’s, you can expect crowd favorites and deep cuts alike!
“Athens in the late ’70s and ’80s was lightning in a bottle,” says Re-52's frontman Tim Pollock. “These bands didn’t just make music—they created a movement. ‘One Night in Athens’ is about reliving that moment and celebrating the sound that changed everything.”
The Reckoning faithfully recreates R.E.M.’s signature sound and emotional depth and energy, while The Re-52’s deliver a vibrant, costume-filled performance that captures the fun, eccentricity, and party atmosphere of The B-52’s at their peak.
