The Sleater-Kinney Liz Phair tour is happening. The two icons are teaming up for a co-headlining trek dubbed The Flannel and the Fury, launching September 6 in El Cajon, California, and wrapping up September 21 in Boston.
“For those of us who listened to Exile in Guyville on repeat in 1993, Liz Phair has always been a leader and a truth-sayer for the female experience,” Sleater-Kinney’s Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein say. “She’s a legend and a stone cold classic; what a thrill to share the stage with one of our biggest inspirations – we can’t wait to tear it up with her.”
“The Flannel and the Fury is a nod to 1990’s alt-rock culture and the female-fronted bands who staked their claim to center stage in a male-dominated music industry,” Phair adds. “Sleater-Kinney and I both cut our teeth in the early Riot Grrrl scene. It’s been a dream of mine ever since to bring our music and our fans together for one night of reckless hope and musical splendor.”
Presales for the Sleater-Kinney & Liz Phair tour begin Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time. For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit Sleater-Kinney.com or LizPhairMusic.com.
The most recent Sleater-Kinney album is 2024’s Little Rope. Phair’s latest record is 2021’s Soberish.
