FUGAZI

All-ages admission, $5 tickets, $10 albums, zero corporate sponsorship, zero T-shirt merch tables, and radical dynamics where silence hits as hard as feedback.

Formed in Washington, D.C. in 1987 by Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Embrace), Joe Lally, and Brendan Canty (Rites of Spring), soon joined by Rites of Spring vocalist/guitarist Guy Picciotto. Fugazi expanded hardcore's ethical framework into hypnotic dub-driven post-hardcore, playing over 1,000 all-ages shows across all 50 US states and around the globe.
