Kathleen Hanna is celebrating her upcoming memoir Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk with a run of book tour dates, scheduled for May 2024.
The Bikini Kill singer will kick things off on the book’s release day — May 14th — at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre. She’ll then make stops in cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, and more, wrapping up the 10-date trek with an event in Philadelphia.
Rebel Girl tracks Hanna’s evolution from a fledgling young punk into the incomparable feminist icon she is today. In addition to documenting Bikini Kill’s heyday, the memoir will dive into her friendships with the likes of Kurt Cobain, Ian MacKaye, Kim Gordon, and Joan Jett; falling in love with her now-husband, Ad-Rock of The Beastie Boys; her battle with Lyme disease, and more.
Tickets for Hanna’s book tour are on sale today, December 12th, and you can get yours here (if you can’t go in-person, you can also join the May 22nd livestream). A portion of ticket sales will be donated to Peace Sisters, an education non-profit organization for which Hanna is an ambassador.

Earlier this year, Olivia Rodrigo reflected on how Hanna influenced her recent album GUTS. In turn, Hanna called the pop star “a revelation,” praising her songwriting skills and use of “riot grrrl” iconography.
