Acoustic punk icons Violent Femmes have announced a Sydney Opera House show to celebrate their 30th anniversary.

1983’s Violent Femmes shot the brand into the stratosphere with singles like ‘Blister In The Sun’ and ‘Kiss Off’. Founding members Gordon Gano and Brian Ritchie will be joined by drummer Brian Viglione to play that album in full, plus selections from 1984’s Hallowed Ground.

Violent Femmes play the Sydney Opera House on Monday December 29.
