R.E.M. Reunite Again — Seriously — to Play ‘Pretty Persuasion’ at Hometown Show


All four members of R.E.M. performed 'Pretty Persuasion' alongside Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy at a show in Athens, Georgia.

— Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe, and Bill Berry — at the 2024 Songwriters Hall Of Fame induction ceremony. Thursday night, Feb. 27, the band that has repeatedly insisted they’ll never do a full-fledged reunion, took the stage at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia to perform with Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy’s R.E.M. During their stop in Athens last February, Buck, Mills, and Berry all partook in the show, and while Stipe got on stage at the end to thank the crowd, the whole band did not perform a song together.
