Violent Femmes at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre

The St. Augustine Amphitheatre welcomes Violent Femmes on Sunday, September 29, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:00 p.m.

This tour does not have an opener as the Femmes are playing special two album shows. The Hallowed Ground album, celebrating its 41st anniversary, is first. An intermission follows with the debut album, celebrating 40 years, played in full during the second half of the show.

The Violent Femmes are comprised of Brian Ritchie on guitar, drums, and backing vocals; John Sparrow on percussion, drums, and backing vocals; Blaise Garza on keyboards, percussion, and backing vocals; and Gordon Gano on lead vocals, violin, guitars, and banjo. Formed in 1981 in Milwaukee, they quickly gained recognition for their unique blend of folk, punk, and sarcasm.

Throughout their three-decade career, they have released eight studio albums and 19 hit singles, including "Blister in the Sun," "American Music," "Nightmares," and "Gone Daddy Gone," with worldwide sales surpassing 10 million.
