It's a weekend full of Devo in Northeast Ohio featuring music, live events, a 5K, guest appearances by David Kendrick, Jerry Casale, Fred Armisen, and more.
The Beachland Ballroom will be hosting a two-day DEVOtional celebration starting Friday at 6 p.m. with a pay-what-you-want admittance for performances by Eric Nassau and the San Francisco Threesome (7:30), Poopy Necroponde and the Louisiana Fudge Patch Kids (8:30), and The Fantastic Plastics (9:30).

4:45 - Fight Milk
5:45 - Jerry Casale

9:45 - Raffle
10:15 - The Super Thing
The annual DEVOtional, a gathering of like-minded Devo crusaders, was a spinoff of the original blog page set up by Scott Orsi where a group of Devo fans decided to meet in person in 2000 instead of ‘nerding out’ in chat rooms pre-Facebook.
Michael Pilmer who has worked closely with the band for many years and helped start this ‘devolved’ event over 20 years ago says, “We always hope humans take away a sense of belonging, even though most of us are outcasts, geeks, weirdos and nerds who 'don't belong.'”
The fun continues down in Akron on Nov. 7 with the 5KDEVO run.
