Flogging Molly and Violent Femmes announce co-headlining tour
This fall, Flogging Molly and Violent Femmes will join forces for a tour across the United States.
Announced today, the co-headlining trek will kick off on September 3 at Maryland Heights’ St. Louis Music Park, and it will end things at The Armory in Minneapolis on October 23. Me First And The Gimme Gimmes and Thick will join the tour as support. Me First And The Gimme Gimmes won’t appear on the first two dates, though.
Flogging Molly’s Dave King said this about the trek:
“What a joy it is to announce our co-headline tour this coming September/October 2021 with the legendary Violent Femmes. 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 said:
“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.”
The entire tour routing can be seen below. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (June 25) at 10 a.m. local time.
Flogging Molly’s last studio album was 2017’s Life Is Good, which peaked at number eight on the Top Alternative Albums chart. Violent Femmes’s last studio album was 2019’s Hotel Last Resort. The band recently re-released their Add It Up (1981–1993) compilation on vinyl.
