"The two legendary bands were joined by pioneering new wave artist Lene Lovich as the opening act. In the midst of an unseasonably warm stretch of weather, it was a beautiful night on Long Island as Lovich kicked off the outdoor concert at 7 p.m. sharp. Dressed in gothic garb from head to toe, the 76-year-old singer performed a 35-minute set of her classic songs, including her signature tune "Lucky Number.""
"Still featuring founding members Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, and Cindy Wilson, The B-52s launched their set with "Cosmic Thing," the title track from their four-times platinum 1989 album. Nearly 50 years after they formed, The B-52s remain the ultimate party band. In front of a giant video screen displaying classic music videos and vintage live footage, they performed a 12-song set highlighted by favorites like "Roam," "Love Shack," "Planet Claire," and the set-closer "Rock Lobster" (complete with a dancer in a lobster costume)."
