According to consequence.net, Violent Femmes has recently completed run of North American shows, where they performed their first two albums in full. And now, the band has announced that this fall, they will tour North America again. In September and October, the folk and punk band will be visiting cities in Florida, South and North Carolina, Kentucky and Alabama. Just like last time, each show will feature front to back performances of Violent Femmes‘s 1983 self-titled debut and 1984’s Hallowed Ground.
A ticket pre sale for the newly announced shows begins Wednesday, May 22 through Ticketmaster by using the code ADDITUP, with a public on sale following on Friday, May 24.
