Celebrate 25th anniversary of Reject All American with limited edition 500-copy blue vinyl pressing

Marking their first full shows since 1997, Legendary feminist punk band Bikini Kill regrouped in 2019 for ten thrilling performances in select cities across the US, London, and a headlining Riot Fest appearance. Ecstatic fans sold these shows out quickly and prior to being postponed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the band had announced a more expansive, international tour in 2020. The band has announced these international tour dates rescheduled for 2022, plus thirteen additional shows spanning North America and EU/UK. New dates added include Los Angeles, NYC, Atlanta, Austin, Glasgow, never before played southwest cities, and more. Tickets for previously announced dates are available today and tickets for new dates go on sale this Friday at 10am PT. Fans can purchase tickets here. Previous ticket holders can contact their local venues for policies regarding refunds.

To celebrate the recent 25th Anniversary of their iconic record Reject All American, the band will release 500-copy limited edition, blue vinyl pressings available May 7, only on Bandcamp.

The run includes a valiant return to Olympia, WA, and a benefit concert for Interfaith Works Nightly Shelter, a local non-profit acting as the only shelter/homeless services program that explicitly prioritizes women and LGBT single adults in the Olympia community. These shows see 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 Erica Dawn Lyle. Hailed by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and The Los Angeles Times, the 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.
