Flogging Molly and Violent Femmes are teaming up for a US tour later this fall. The two veteran bands will hit the road for a 30-date trek where they’ll take turns headlining each night. Check out the full list of tour dates below.
The string of concerts kicks off on September 3rd in Maryland Heights, Missouri and will wrap up on October 23rd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Along the way, they will perform in major cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Dallas, Las Vegas, Seattle, and Denver. Joining Flogging Molly and Violent Femmes on the majority of these dates will be Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and our former Artist of the Month, Thick.
“What a joy it is to announce our co-headline tour this coming September/October 2021 with the legendary Violent Femmes,” said Flogging Molly’s Dave King in a statement. “We in the Flogging Molly family cannot wait to share the stage with such an amazing group, so please join us in celebrating the return of what we’ve all truly missed: the live music experience. We cannot wait to see you all! So take care dear friends, till we raise a glass to one and all, Slainté! Flogging Molly.”
Violent Femmes’ Brian Ritchie chimed in with a statement of his own, adding, “Can’t be hermits forever. Violent Femmes re-enter the big bad world they sing about. We are happy to crawl out of our hole just in time to celebrate 40 years as a band.”
