Le Tigre to tour the UK and Europe for the first time in 18 years this summer

Kathleen Hanna's electronic post-punk band line up headline shows around their Primavera Sound festival appearances

Le Tigre, the electronic post-punk band founded by Bikini Kill vocalist Kathleen Hanna , have announced their first dates in the UK and Europe for 18 years.

The trio reunited last year to play their first show in 11 years at last August's This Ain’t No Picnic festival in Los Angeles. 

Having been booked to play Spain's Primavera Sound festival in June, the group - Hanna, Johanna Fateman, and JD Samson - have now added a clutch of club dates around their festival plans.

Le Tigre will play: Jun 01: Barcelona, Primavera Sound, SPA Jun 03: London Troxy, UK Jun 05: Manchester, Albert Hall, UK Jun 06: Glasgow, Barrowland Ballroom, UK Jun 08: Madrid, Primavera Sound, SPA Jun 09: Porto, NOS Primavera Sound, POR Jun 11: Paris Le Trianon, FRA  Jun 14: Amsterdam Paradiso, HOL Jun 16: Berlin Huxleys Neue Welt, GER  Jun 17: Hamburg Markthalle, GER

Tickets for the shows will go on sale on the Le Tigre website on Friday, January 27.

Speaking about the band's reunion to Spin last year, Fateman said, "We went in really different directions after we stopped playing shows in 2005. JD has become a professor. I’m an art critic. Kathleen has done various nonprofit work, and then she did the Julie Ruin and then Bikini Kill reunited. We had more than a decade to just be individuals again, and then come back together, bringing more to the project. "In some ways, it feels like no time has passed at all. We’re reconnecting as friends and bandmates and finding that dynamic again, and we’re also letting the lyrics and our original ideas resonate with the present." 

Hanna's other band, Bikini Kill, are set to tour Australia and New Zealand for the first time in 25 years in March, ahead of an extensive US tour in April.

LE TIGRE (Kathleen Hanna, JD Samson, and Johanna Fateman)  will bring their joyous, experimental post-riot grrrl antics and conceptual multimedia performance to stages across the globe this summer for the  first time in 18 years , reuniting at a time when we need them the most. The beloved trio will kick off their European leg at Primavera Sound Barcelona before a UK run of headline shows, further dates at Primavera’s Madrid and Porto festivals and headline dates in other key cities across Europe.  Tickets go on sale Friday, January 27th – see  letigre.world  for details.

Forming in New York City in 1999—when Rudy Giuliani was mayor and regressive hipster irony ruled— the band abandoned traditional punk instrumentation, pairing drum-machine beats and looped 8-bit samples with the simplest, serrated guitar riffs and call-and-response vocals. Though rage had its place in Le Tigre, the band, with celebratory songs such as  “Hot Topic” —a shout-out to queer and feminist artistic inspirations (from David Wojnarowicz and Lorraine O’Grady to Catherine Opie and Vaginal Davis)—was a departure for Kathleen; she was best known as the singer of Bikini Kill, whose fans found feminist catharsis in her scorching vocals.  “ Deceptacon ,”  the lead track of Le Tigre’s debut, was perhaps an aesthetic bridge between that seductive register of rage and her new band’s dancefloor ambitions. It was later conceived of as music “for the party after the protest.” The members of Le Tigre shared a vision for multimedia performance, touring with a slide projector in their early days with video later becoming a key component of their live show which fans can still look forward to on the upcoming tour. The band’s final show—until their reunion performance for the This Ain’t No Picnic festival at the Rose Bowl in August 2022—was on September 24, 2005, at the Operation Ceasefire concert at Washington Monument in Washington DC, where they joined a coalition of artists calling for an end to the U.S. war in Iraq. Recently, Kathleen has been touring with Bikini Kill, running Tees 4 Togo (which sells artist-designed T-shirts to fund the non-profit organization Peace Sisters), and writing a book. JD has a full-time teaching position (as Assistant Arts Professor and Area Head of Performance at The Clive Davis Institute at NYU/Tisch), performs with CRICKETS, and tours with the original live score for the film  32 Sounds , directed by Sam Green. Johanna is an author and art critic who writes regularly for the “Goings on About Town” section of the  New Yorker  and for  4Columns ; she is a contributing editor of  Artforum .

Le Tigre will return to the road for their first tour in 18 years.

The electro-punk trio will play a lone show in Philadelphia on May 27 before heading over to Europe and the U.K. The North American leg of the tour will officially begin July 1 with a set at the Mosswood Meltdown Festival (hosted by filmmaker John Waters) in Oakland, California. Le Tigre will criss-cross North America the rest of the month, wrapping up July 28 at Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn.

Tickets for all new shows will go on sale this Friday, Jan. 27, at 12 p.m. ET. Full info is available on Le Tigre’s website .

Support for the tour includes Shamir, Morgan and the Organ Donors, Claud, Big Joanie, Man on Man, Chicks on Speed, Pom Pom Squad, Dream Wife, Problem Patterns, Who is She?, Erin Markey, Cumgirl8, Morgan Bassichis.

For the next 17 years, the members of Le Tigre largely focused on other projects, only reuniting in 2016 for a song, “I’m With Her,” in support of Hillary Clinton’s presidential run. In August 2022, they finally reunited on stage at the This Ain’t No Picnic festival .

Recent tour reviews

One of the most thrilling live music experiences I’ve ever had was when watching Le Tigre, despite it being a set that featured very little in the way of live music at all. The Kathleen Hanna-led trio came on to the stage, and put on a DVD of videos to accompany their songs (they went through the route menu and everything). And then... they jumped and shouted along to it, and it was absolutely incredible. The whole experience had such an air of being a party to end all parties about it that it was difficult to latch on to any of the righteous social and political messages contained in each and every song, but what was clever about it was that the words you were singing to yourself as you exited the gig actually had the potential to be pretty life changing if taken to heart. Very much putting the party in party political, Le Tigre concerts are a raucous, technicolour explosions of sights and sounds that’ll challenge not only what you deem to call “live” music, but maybe one or two deep seated prejudices as well. You’ll likely come out of the entire experience a much better, far sweatier person.

Le tigre's feminist rage has always been fun.

JD Samson, Kathleen Hanna and Johanna Fateman recently reformed as Le Tigre for a European and North American tour.

When Bikini Kill reunited in 2017, later embarking on a tour that united feminist punks across generations , it introduced a clawing, almost desperate question in the back of my brain: Would Le Tigre ever reunite ?

The art punk, electronic, "whatever-you-wanna-call-it" group, fronted by Bikini Kill's Kathleen Hanna alongside Johanna Fateman and JD Samson, last toured in 2005, promoting its only major label album, This Island. But even with just three records to the band's name, released between 1999 and 2004, Le Tigre's legacy loomed large in my mind. The group's combination of new wave-biting synth-pop and mixture of high-brow politics and low-brow aesthetics never lost its power in the decades since the music's release — even as the political targets of its songs left office, even as feminism became a fashionable (albeit often questionably defined position) in pop culture.

In the years since, Hanna, Samson and Fateman have jumped around different musical and artistic projects, from new groups including MEN and The Julie Ruin to writing projects and professorships. But from the newfound virality of a song like "Deceptacon" on TikTok, to the resurgence of riot grrrl principles and sounds in indie rock over the last decade, a reunion seemed increasingly inevitable. When the group announced earlier in 2023 it'd be reuniting for a tour, with three sold-out nights in Brooklyn, I knew that my colleague Marissa Lorusso and I would be reporting for duty. — Hazel Cills

Hazel Cills: I've been a fan of Le Tigre for most of my adult life, but every time I've put on their music I've known that I was missing out on something: The band as they're truly meant to be heard, live with a crowd to actually dance and scream about the possibilities of my MetroCard with. All bands transform and shapeshift to different degrees on-stage, but Le Tigre has always felt like a band whose explicitly feminist music — which often has this singalong, manifesto quality — demands a communal experience. The beauty of Le Tigre was that it built out the punk ethos Hanna had been doing in a group like Bikini Kill (who we've also both seen, as dutiful riot grrrl disciples, not to speak for you, Marissa) with an '80s electro-pop style; not so much burying or disguising potent political messages in pop, but knowing the two can (should!) co-exist, and that the messages are no less radical when you marry them with playful synthesizers and humor and moments of fun .

Which is why I loved, loved, loved the karaoke-ness of the live show. Le Tigre's setup was sparse — just Hanna, Johanna Fateman and JD Samson trading off instruments depending on the song, decked out in color-blocked outfits. But a giant video-screen behind them playing a series of colorful home videos and mini-art films always had the lyrics of whatever given song was being performed across the screen like a news ticker. It had this beautiful effect on me, as if its presence was screaming, "How dare you not sing with us? Look at how easy we've made it for you!" And easy it was, not that I ever, you know, need assistance telling people to get off the internet and into the streets. All of which is to say, the show exceeded my expectations, and I'm still a little awestruck that I got to see them live after 20 years of not touring. What did the live show do for you, Marissa? In the year of listening to this band did you ever feel generational FOMO for not seeing Le Tigre?

Marissa Lorusso : Hazel, let me start by saying it was such a delight to see Le Tigre alongside you! I, too, never figured I'd get to see Le Tigre live and always felt that, as you said, it's a band that "demands a communal experience." I don't exactly remember the first time I ever heard "Deceptacon," but I know I was in high school, and I remember immediately showing it to other girls in my life. It was unlike anything I'd ever heard before, and even though I didn't understand everything Kathleen Hanna was singing — and even though I didn't yet identify as a feminist — I knew there was something powerful in it that the boys wouldn't quite understand.

American Anthem

Fascination, friendship and desire: kathleen hanna on the reign of 'rebel girl'.

I love what you've said about the karaoke-style setup of the tour. I think the projection of the lyrics did exactly what you described: It welcomed the whole crowd into the party and made it impossible not to sing along, whether you came there as a Gen Xer who saw the band before it signed (controversially!) to a major label back in the day, a longtime millennial fan like us or a Zoomer who knows the hits from TikTok. (And yes, when I saw the original riot grrrl show up on my "For You" page doing a makeup tutorial , I did a serious double take.) But crucially, I think the setup also doubled down on the other essential aspect of the Le Tigre equation: It put the band's political messages front and center. You couldn't not have a good time, as you said, but you also couldn't ignore the larger-than-life text calling out, for example, gerrymandering, hate crimes and the private insurance industry (and that was just in one song ).

Several times during the set, a member of the band would introduce a song by pointing out that its lyrics felt just as relevant today — if not more relevant — as when they were originally written. Much to the chagrin of the denizens of Barbieland, we haven't exactly solved gender inequality since Le Tigre last toured. But what has changed, I think, is the relationship between feminism and pop culture (and pop music). Is it fair to say Le Tigre was putting out records into a world where having one of the biggest pop stars in the world give a major performance in front of the word FEMINIST was unimaginable? Now, it feels almost like a given that some version of feminism can coexist with choreographed dance moves. Still, to me, Le Tigre's approach and lyrics didn't feel dated or out-of-step or, god forbid, cringe in concert. Is that just my nostalgia speaking? How did the tone of the band's messages strike you in 2023?

Cills: I think I was admittedly nervous, too, about how that once Bush-era political spirit would feel in real time, resurfaced in 2023. Maybe it had to do with the band's 2016 song, "I'm With Her," which they wrote in support of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, the content of which had a blatant expiration date. Or maybe it's just how I've changed as a person since discovering Le Tigre, like you, at a very formative young age. I found the group as a tween: Maybe it was reading too many music blogs, or too much time on gURL.com, but "Deceptacon" made its way into my orbit. And I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that discovering that first album completely expanded not just my music tastes, but specifically my conceptions of what political music could sound like. My early brushes with music that could express political possibility or rage were the punk my parents listened to, but it was all men — Gang of Four, The Minutemen, etc. Without Le Tigre I wouldn't have found Bikini Kill, wouldn't have found riot grrrl, wouldn't have begun to stack the building blocks of feminism in my brain until they solidified into the outlook I have today.

But all the messaging felt right (not cringe!) in this moment. I mean, "Get Off the Internet," is, I imagine, even more of an anthem in an increasingly competitive attention economy and toothless feminist blogosphere than it was when it came out in 2001. (Although, side note: Can people be "off" or "on" the internet anymore when the internet is in your pocket? The only solution is to throw your phone into the sea, I think.) Every song had an intense response, but I feel like "Viz" stood out to me as creating some special alchemy in the crowd. (I think I remember Johanna complimenting our especially "good jumpers.") And, of course, it did, because I can think of very, very few songs that express what that song is communicating about sexuality and visibility and gender non-conformity in a way that feels subversive and subtle and funny. I'm always looking, I think, in feminist art, for a spectrum of expression that actually speaks to the totality of what marginalized experience looks like, feels like. It's why the band can get away with the fatigue and anger of songs like "F.Y.R." and "Seconds," and then turn around and do a song like "Eau d'Bedroom Dancing" or "Hot Topic," a pure celebration of feminist art that somehow turns what could be a college syllabus into an addictive call and response.

Revolution Girl Style, 20 Years Later

NPR Music's 20|20

On her influential debut, peaches seized her pain and pleasure.

But it's the fun of Le Tigre's show, and its synth-pop sound, that stuck with me. I was also thinking about how there's been such a subtle revival or even nostalgia in the last year or so for that early aughts, "bloghouse" sound among a few rising bands. You have groups like The Dare, The Hellp, Frost Children, all of whom sound like they were plucked from that moment, like I could have found them on one of the few days someone made me read Hipster Runoff as a teenager against my will. But a lot of that era that's being mined for revival is not the queer, feminist, fun electroclash I grew up listening to, like Peaches , Chicks on Speed or Gravy Train!!! (the latter of which I clocked playing over the venue speakers before Le Tigre went on). Instead we get songs like " Girls ," which sounds like it was written by a horny LCD Soundsystem cover band. "Bloghouse" was fun, but mostly fun for who , exactly? Maybe there's a near-future or alternate history where what Le Tigre was doing in the late '90s, early '00s repeats itself.

Lorusso: Fun for who, indeed. Your question makes me think about a recent interview with Johanna and JD about the reunion tour , where Johanna gave her thoughts about "indie sleaze," the newly coined nomenclature for the early '00s moment that's being revived. She said it makes her think of American Apparel, which makes her think of "sexual abuse"; that it makes her think of Vice magazine, and the nascent alt-right, and a "culture of casual sadism." It's all associated, for her, with "that era and those disgusting people that we avoided, who hated us also," she says. "I mean, it's not like we were beloved by those people." As Johanna points out, all of that stuff was happening right alongside the scene Le Tigre was part of. And while I have no idea if that level of toxicity pervades in today's bloghouse revival, I've yet to hear something that centers an explicitly, subversively feminist perspective from this new group of artists.

So I'm inspired by your proposal of a near-future alternate history where new bands pick up the mantle of artists like Le Tigre or Peaches — music that injects some more righteous rage into this nostalgic sound. It's funny; you and I talked at length after the concert about why the huge feminist pop spectacle of a Le Tigre show felt more invigorating for us than the huge feminist pop spectacle of the Barbie movie, and I think it's for exactly the reason you've pinpointed: that the band makes room for these gnarlier emotions, that it's more interested in the totality of our shared experience than a tidy narrative arc. As you pointed out to me, the Barbie movie never really depicts the actual oppression women face in the real world; that would be way too much of a bummer for a blockbuster aiming to speak to the widest possible audience.

But Le Tigre went there, goes there — and still finds things worth dancing to. So my vision for our alternate-history near future goes there, too. These dream artists would, I think, have to take into account the massive shifts in feminist discourse over the past two decades — the way intersectional issues like misogynoir and anti-trans violence have been centered in more and more mainstream conversations, for example. Plus, the fact that feminism isn't a dirty word, for the moment; so many mainstream stars — some of the biggest artists in the world! — actively embrace the label, even if their engagement with it can often feel watered-down (remember Taylor Swift's #squad?) or contradictory . (And it's not as if genres like indie rock and hip-hop are hurting for amazing women and queer artists, either!)

OK, so all that's a tall order for our alternate history. And it's hard not to feel a little jaded about the prospect of it even happening; sometimes, it really feels like gender equality becomes a hot topic for a minute, turns into a marketing ploy — brands love International Women's Day! Spotify wants to quantify your gender bias ! — and then cycles back into being uncool. Maybe that, too, is why seeing Le Tigre felt so refreshing: Since the band came up at a time when everyone wasn't exactly on board with the whole feminism thing, it's able to create this genuinely fun and genuinely committed space that's blissfully unbothered by what's in vogue. It honored our rage at state violence, our exhaustion with the discourse cycles, our hope for the future and put us, if even just for a few hours, in a community of people who wanted to do karaoke together through it all.
