Sundance To Whip it Good: Devo Set To Play Park City As Band Docu Debuts At Snowy Fest

The Sundance Film Festival is set to feature performances from Devo in multiple ways. The band will take the stage at the newly debuted Marquis on Main Street in the opulent ski town, following the premiere of a documentary by Chris Smith about the New Wave group. General admission tickets are priced at $50 and VIP at $150, and they should be available for purchase now. Known for attracting big-name musicians and bands who have screen projects, Sundance has been a hotspot for music enthusiasts. Hence, rumors about Devo's performance started circulating since SFF's line-up was revealed on December 6. This performance comes on the heels of Devo's 50th-anniversary last year and is somewhat a revisit to their prior haunt as the performance's opening act is Paul Oakenfold. Infamous for their performance that marked the end of the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, Devo's show became legendary and was even featured in a film titled 'Butch Devo and the Sundance Gig'. As part of Sundance 2024's Premieres section, Devo joins documentaries about music icons like Brian Eno and Luther Vandross. The DEVO documentary will be shown five times at SFF, including two shows in Salt Lake City on January 26 and 28. Produced by Library Films / VICE STUDIOS in collaboration with Mutato Entertainment, presented by BMG, Undeniable (a Fremantle label), and Warner Music Group, the Sundance Film Festival 2024 will run from January 18 to 28.
