Bikini Kill 2022 International Tour Kicks Off April 26

"Hanna is one of the great frontpeople of all time, but she is best with this band behind her. The pounding of Vail’s toms doubled by Kathi Wilcox’s bass pushes Hanna’s voice into a roar that is primal and undeniable; she makes you listen." - The New York Times

“Bikini Kill’s insurrectionism feels more vital than ever. Their cool protest songs predicted and shaped our current cultural moment, in which recognizing the politics in art is non-negotiable.” - Pitchfork

"Bikini Kill played as if their energy had been cryonically preserved in 1997." - Rolling Stone
 

Legendary feminist punk band Bikini Kill will kick off their long awaited, expansive international tour next month. In 2019, the iconic group played their first full shows since 1997, performing to ecstatic, sold out crowds in select US cities and London. They are thrilled to bring their blistering live show to stages across the globe once again, after their 2020 international tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fans can purchase tickets to the rescheduled tour and a handful of new shows HERE. Previous ticket holders can contact their local venues for policies regarding refunds.

These shows see the band performing with their original line-up of Kathleen Hanna on vocals, Tobi Vail on drums, and Kathi Wilcox on bass -- along with guitarist Erica DawnLyle. Hailed by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and The Los Angeles Times, the reunion has sparked critical discussion on the band’s legacy and influence on culture and music today with Entertainment Weekly, NYLON, The New York Times. 

The tour includes a valiant 2-night sold out return to Olympia, WA, where they first started, to benefit Interfaith Works Nightly Shelter, a local non-profit acting as the only shelter/homeless services program that explicitly prioritizes women and LGBT single adults in the Olympia community.
