"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
“‘Rebel Girl’ is perhaps the greatest feminist punk anthem of all time.” - Rolling Stone
Legendary feminist punk pioneers, Bikini Kill today announce a 2026 North American fall tour, kicking off September 6 in Portland with stops in NYC, LA, Chicago, Boston, Cleveland and more. Fans on the west coast can also experience the band’s formidable live show this summer as they headline Mosswood Meltdown on Sunday, July 19. Public on-sale begins Friday, Jan 30 at 9am PT / 12pmET.
Bikini Kill regrouped in 2019 for their first full shows since 1997, during a time when we need their political rally cry more than ever, and have since performed to sold out crowds across the globe. This tour sees the band performing with their iconic line-up of Kathleen Hanna on vocals, Tobi Vail on drums, and Kathi Wilcox on bass -- along with guitarist Sara Landeau. Hailed by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and The Los Angeles Times, the Bikini Kill 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. For a taste of the band’s electrifying live show, watch them perform feminist anthem “Rebel Girl” LIVE on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Kathleen Hanna’s New York Times bestselling memoir Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk was released to widespread fan and critical acclaim and she hosts the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s acclaimed Music Makes Us podcast.
