Celtic-punk band Flogging Molly and folk-punk band Violent Femmes are set to go on a co-headlining tour this fall, from September-October, 2021. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and Thick are set to open for them on all but the first two nights of the tour.

Some notable stops will include Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL, Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA, Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston, MA, Pier 17 in New York, NY, The Anthem in Washington, DC, Bayou Music Center in Houston, TX, Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles, CA, WaMu Theater in Seattle, WA and The Mission Ballroom in Denver, CO. The full schedule can be found below.
Flogging Molly frontman Dave King states, “What a joy it is to announce our co-headline tour this coming September/October 2021 with the legendary Violent Femmes. We in the Flogging Molly family cannot wait to share the stage with such an amazing group, so please join us in celebrating the return of what we’ve all truly missed: the live music experience. We cannot wait to see you all! So take care dear friends, till we raise a glass to one and all, Slainté!”
In addition to this co-headlining tour, Flogging Molly have plans for a Salty Dog Cruise music festival, featuring Descendents, The Distillers, Frank Turner (Duo), Möngöl Hörde, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Broilers, Authority Zero, Dave Hause & the Mermaid, Thick, The Cherry Coke$, Punk Rock Karaoke and Guise, plus any more that haven’t been confirmed at this time. Flogging Molly have been keeping their live performance chops fresh, as demonstrated by their January 2021 livestream from Dublin.
Violent Femmes’ latest album was 2019’s Hotel Last Resort. The Milwaukee, WI-based group remains best known for their debut self-titled release, featuring hit singles like “Blister in the Sun,” “Add It Up” and “Kiss Off.”
