“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 that they will perform at Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields Festival at Great Park on August 29 in Irvine, California. Net profits from ticket sales will go to nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls, such as the Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood, and Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health. All of the artists have agreed not to take a profit from their performances. Pre-sale: Wednesday, June 24 at 1pmEST.

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.
