San Francisco pop-punk band Pansy Division will celebrate their 30th anniversary with a trio of shows in the West Coast.

The band will make their way to Palm Springs, Los Angeles, and Oakland for some exciting performances starting on June 30. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.

Forming in 1991, Pansy Division was one of the first openly gay rock bands. Throughout their career, the band unveiled albums on Lookout! Records and Alternative Tentacles.

Vocalist Jon Ginoli said this about the rise of LGBTQ+ artists in the world today:

“There is so much of it now that I can't keep track of it, and that's a far cry from when we were starting out. If more people had been out then, especially in rock, we might not have felt the need to start this band in the first place. But there wasn't, so we did, and being so open, unapologetic, blunt and fun about it means it still resonates today.”

While band members are busy with their own lives, Ginoli hopes to accomplish one major goal soon:

“We have played 976 shows in our 30-year career and we want to get to a thousand. Since we all have our own lives and careers and are geographically separated from one another, it may take a while, but we hope to get there.”

Pansy Division’s last studio album was 2016’s Quite Contrary.
