Flogging Molly's Dave King shares his excitement about the news: "What a joy it is to announce our co-headline tour this coming September/October 2021 with the legendary Violent Femmes. We in the Flogging Molly family cannot wait to share the stage with such an amazing group, so please join us in celebrating the return of what we've all truly missed: the live music experience. We cannot wait to see you all! So take care dear friends, till we raise a glass to one and all, Slainté! Flogging Molly."

Violent Femmes' Brian Ritchie shares: "Can't be hermits forever. Violent Femmes re-enter the big bad world they sing about. We are happy to crawl out of our hole just in time to celebrate 40 years as a band."

As Violent Femmes celebrate their 40th anniversary together this year, this also provided an opportunity to commemorate the band's enduring catalog of cult classics with the long out-of-print vinyl reissue of Add It Up (1981-1993). Available now via Craft Recordings, the 23-track compilation was re-released on 2-LP and digital formats, featuring the Femmes' biggest hits such as "Blister in the Sun," "American Music," and "Gone Daddy Gone," plus live recordings of fan-favorites like "Add It Up," and "Kiss Off," alongside a trove of demos, B-sides, interstitial voice recordings, and rarities.
