Feminist punk trailblazers Bikini Kill have announced a summer 2026 U.S. tour, marking another major chapter in the band’s celebrated return to the stage. The run will officially kick off on September 6 in Portland, Oregon, and will bring the band to major cities including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Cleveland, and more.
Bikini Kill reunited in 2019 for their first full shows since 1997, returning at a moment when their political urgency and rallying cry resonated more strongly than ever. Since then, the band have played to sold-out audiences worldwide. The 2026 tour features the group’s iconic lineup — Kathleen Hanna on vocals, Tobi Vail on drums, and Kathi Wilcox on bass — joined by guitarist Sara Landeau.
In addition to touring, Kathleen Hanna is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir Rebel Girl: My Life As A Feminist Punk, released to widespread critical and fan acclaim. She also hosts the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame’s Music Makes Us podcast.
