Elmwood Park Amphitheater
Is there anything more synonymous with folk punk than this? Is there a band more influential on the folk, indie, grunge, pop-punk, and emo scenes that followed? Is it even possible for these guys to still be relevant, after a good 45 years in the industry? Shouldn’t they be starting to disappear out of the public eye by now?
It’s quite simple, Roanoke - Violent Femmes came, they hacked a new path on their own terms, they conquered, and they are even better, sharper, stronger, and stranger now and here, in 2026, than back then!
This fall you’ll be able to see for yourself, because Violent Femmes are coming to the Elmwood Park Amphitheatre on 22 September 2026 with their ‘45 Years Of Violent Femmes’ tour!
Tickets are flying off the shelves from as low as $92, and if you don’t hurry, you’re going to be left out! So go ahead, hit the ‘Get Tickets’ button now to get yours in hand before they’re all sold out!
Rumors of the underground folk punk icons’ extensive North American tour to celebrate the 45 years of killer music they have under the belt have been flying around quite a bit - but the news just dropped that the ultimate 1980s rock experience have now added some stops to their itinerary. Can things get more exciting than this?
Violent Femmes are hitting things off hard, heavy, and oozing with that iconic versatility, multi-instrumental wizardry, and technical skill this year, with a calendar jam-packed with headlining shows and festival appearances. The 45 Years Of Violent Femmes tour is slated to rain pure folk punk havoc on the nation from early August 2026 in San Francisco, California, pulling into all the major North American cities on the way, including Cleveland Heights, Cohasset, Omaha, Richmond, Ocean City, and Chandler, before wrapping up in mid-December 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Yes, Violent Femmes have a few miles on the odometer. Yes, they still have a lot of fuel left in the tank!
These guys have absolutely no intention of slowing down any time soon - and every single time they descend upon a stage ripping through face-melters such as Blister in the Sun, American Music, Gone Daddy Gone, Kiss Off, Add It Up, Country Death Song, and Color Me Once and show off some newer tracks, they rock hard. Crowds can’t sit still - they absolutely lose their minds for Violent Femmes - and it’s rather easy to understand why. From the mind-blowing technical prowess to their multi-instrumental versatility - hopping between their usual instruments to interesting instruments such as the contrabass saxophone and xylophone to the fiddle, banjo, and even theremin; from their onstage antics to the explosive punk-energy; from their chaotic improvisations to the crowd participation, Violent Femmes are very much able to kick up a roaring party - one that you can’t miss out on!
