Violent Femmes

Groundbreaking avant-garde artists Violent Femmes are kicking off 2025 with a Spring Tour featuring a double-shot of hits. Fans will be treated to full performances of both their self-titled debut album and their sophomore record, Hallowed Ground, during each show—except in Tallahassee, where they will perform the debut album alongside fan favorites with the Tallahassee Symphony.

Craft Recordings and Violent Femmes are commemorating 40 years of the band’s sophomore title, Hallowed Ground, with a wide vinyl reissue.
