SUMMARY:Violent Femmes at Elmwood Park
DESCRIPTION:Violent Femmes Mark 45 Years of Musical Mayhem with “45 Years
  of Violent Femmes” Tour. The Iconic Folk-Punk Trailblazers to Hit the R
 oad to Celebrate Four and a Half Decades of Raw Energy\, Fearless Songwrit
 ing\, and Crowd-Chanting Chaos Broadberry Entertainment Group in partnersh
 ip with Bowery Presents\, announcing WNRN Presents: VIOLENT FEMMES at Elmw
 ood Park on SEPTEMBER 22\, 2026. Gates open at 6 pm with the show beginnin
 g at 7pm. Forty-five years after busking on the streets of Milwaukee and r
 edefining folk-punk forever\, Violent Femmes have announced that they are 
 hitting the road to celebrate their milestone with a full-throttle tour br
 inging their raucous live show to stages across the country. Based on unde
 niable tracks from “Blister in the Sun” to “Add It Up\,” the Femme
 s have built one of the most unpredictable and enduring careers in alterna
 tive music — part punk sermon\, part folk jam\, and all attitude. The 45
 th anniversary trek will bring that singular energy as they rip through th
 eir greatest hits\, deep cuts\, and fan favorites\, all with the unfiltere
 d\, acoustic bite that made them legends. Formed in 1981\, Violent Femmes 
 flipped the music world on its head with their raw\, acoustic-driven\, sel
 f-titled\, debut album — a record that went platinum without ever cracki
 ng the Billboard Top 200. Their sound– part street-corner folk\, part pu
 nk snarl –influenced generations of artists and cultivated a fiercely lo
 yal fanbase that remains devoted to this day. Four and a half decades in\,
  the Femmes are still as defiant\, joyful\, and relevant as ever with thei
 r hit song “Blister in the Sun” featured in Netflix’s acclaimed 2025
  series “Four Seasons” and the band continuing to sell out venues on e
 ach tour. After 45 years of defying expectations and igniting generations\
 , Violent Femmes prove that true originals don’t fade — they just play
  louder. For more information\, visit https://vfemmes.com. Follow @officia
