Bikini Kill

One of the most galvanizing and influential bands in punk history, Bikini Kill is back and louder than ever. Founded in Olympia, Washington in 1990, Kathleen Hanna and her bandmates ignited the riot grrrl movement and forever changed the landscape of alternative music — their raw, unapologetic sound and fierce feminist ethos inspiring generations of artists and activists alike. Seeing Bikini Kill live is not just a concert; it's a collective act of defiance and celebration. The band is hitting iconic venues across North America, including Brooklyn Steel in New York, The Wiltern in Los Angeles, and McMenamins Crystal Ballroom in Portland, with performances running through September 2026. They also headline the legendary Mosswood Meltdown festival in Oakland on July 18–19, 2026, sharing the bill with Iggy Pop, The Dead Milkmen, Otoboke Beaver, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, and more — making it one of the most electrifying punk lineups of the year. Expect a ferocious setlist drawn from their iconic catalog — 'Rebel Girl,' 'Suck My Left One,' 'Double Dare Ya' — delivered with the same scorched-earth intensity that made them legends. Whether you're a lifelong devotee or discovering the riot for the first time, a Bikini Kill show is a visceral, unforgettable experience that leaves you breathless and burning.
