Shonen Knife have announced their “Everyone Happy U.S. Tour” for fall 2025, bringing their signature punk energy and infectious melodies across North America. Sponsored by Momokawa Sake, the tour kicks off on September 20 at Buffalo, NY’s Music is Art Festival and includes stops in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and more. Fans can expect a mix of career-spanning favorites alongside tracks from their latest album, Our Best Place, out now via Good Charamel Records.
“We’re so excited to bring our music to fans across North America and celebrate together with delicious sake,” said Naoko, founding member and lead vocalist. “Shonen Knife is about fun, friendship, and happiness, and we can’t wait to share that with everyone.”
Formed in Osaka, Japan, in 1981, Shonen Knife have spent over four decades blending punk rock energy with lighthearted, often food-themed lyrics, inspiring musicians worldwide—including Nirvana, who took them on tour in the early ’90s.
