Bikini Kill will bring its revolutionary punk spirit to the Cleveland Agora, delivering a night of raw energy, feminist anthems and songs that helped define the riot grrrl movement. Fronted by the charismatic and uncompromising Kathleen Hanna, the band became one of the most influential voices to emerge from the early-1990s punk underground. With guitarist Billy Karren, bassist Kathi Wilcox and drummer Tobi Vail, Bikini Kill's live shows remain as powerful and confrontational as ever, combining infectious punk rock with a message of empowerment and social awareness.

​

Fans can expect a high-energy set drawing from the band's influential catalog, including favorites such as “Rebel Girl,” “Double Dare Ya,” “New Radio,” “Suck My Left One” and “Carnival.” For longtime followers, the Cleveland Agora concert offers a chance to experience a band whose influence can still be heard throughout punk, indie rock and alternative music today. For newer fans, it is an opportunity to witness one of the genre's most important and electrifying bands in an intimate concert setting where Bikini Kill's message and music are sure to hit with maximum force.
