Melvins and Redd Kross Unite for ‘Stop Your Whining’ Tour 2025: A Double Dose of Underground Rock Royalty
Get ready for a seismic collision of underground rock as the legendary Melvins and Redd Kross announce their highly anticipated 'Stop Your Whining' tour in September and October 2025! This power-packed collaboration promises a sonic assault of crushing riffs, kaleidoscopic punk, and genre-defying experiments, bringing together two of the most influential and unpredictable forces in heavy music.
Melvins, known for their relentless touring schedule, are currently tearing up stages with Napalm Death on the 'Savage Imperial Death March II' tour before embarking on this next adventure. The 'Stop Your Whining' tour, kicking off September 9 in Flagstaff, AZ, will feature a special twist: Redd Kross's Steven McDonald will pull double duty as the Melvins' bassist, a role he's held for a decade, further solidifying the synergy between these two iconic bands.
Redd Kross, celebrated for their unique blend of punk, retro glam, and garage rock, have cultivated a devoted cult following since the early '80s. Their influence extends beyond music, with recent recognition in both a book ('Now You're One Of Us: The Incredible Story Of Redd Kross') and a documentary ('Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story').
Fans can expect nothing short of an electrifying experience as the Melvins, featuring Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover, Steven McDonald, and Coady Willis, unleash tracks from their recently released album 'Thunderball,' praised for its irresistible and huge-sounding tunes. Expect an utterly uncompromised show from these icons.
