DEVOtional 2024 is coming to Ohio on 9/20 & 9/21!
This year's graphics are inspired by DEVO's "R U Experienced?" single from their 1984 "Shout" album. That was 40 years ago! Let's celebrate! (Pre-orders are now closed, but you can still purchase a T-Shirt at the event while supplies last.)
Like the previous two years, we're using the big ballroom at The Beachland for BOTH days of the event. For many years we used the smaller tavern room for Friday, and the large ballroom for Saturday, but now DEVOtional is a larger beast demanding more room.
As a tribute to our dearly departed Robert "Bob 2" Casale, who passed away 10 years ago in 2014, we're working with Catered Productions (Chicago, IL) to offer a selection of DEVOlved Pizzas to DEVOtional attendees! Using recipes by Michael Proskin of Catered Productions (with direction from Gerald V. Casale) with Bob 2's tastes in mind, these 5 deep-dish pies will also serve as a tribute to that time when Bob 2 showed up at DEVOtional 2009 to help serve nearly 100 spuds food that he & Michael Proskin worked hard to prepare at the event.
This year we'll be able to show you the short DEVOtional 2023 documentary film that was shot at Beachland Ballroom last year (Presented by Rush Productions). It hits the screen on Saturday Sept. 21st!
You'll see an advance ticket option which includes the pizza cost, and an option for a standard attendance ticket. In addition to the advance pizza sales, there will be a limited quantity of pizza available for sale at the event, but we predict they will sell out quickly, so pre-order to be sure you get one of these deliciously devolved pies!

Speaking of TICKETS, if you were one of the first 100 spuds to buy a ticket, then you will receive ONE OF THESE highly devolved FREE GIFTS when you arrive at the door on Saturday! You will be the envy of your DEVOtee pals with this one!

UPDATE: We're super glad to welcome our special guest, Nicole Stoehr, vocalist for Disney's DEVO 2.0 band. If you were lucky enough to see her when she attended DEVOtional 2014, then you know she's a stellar human full of positive weirdo energy!
ALSO, we're VERY happy to announce this band to this year's festivities...and it is something YOU SHOULD NOT MISS: The mighty MACULA DOG from NY! It is a live show LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE - we promise!
In fact, we showed Mark Mothersbaugh a video of them in concert a year or two ago, and here's what he had to say, "Wow! This is great! Reminds me of the ingenuity of my brother Jungle Jim in the early days of DEVO."
