Punk rock legends Black Flag have announced a massive 45-city U.S. tour to mark the band’s 50th anniversary, kicking off this September 3. The tour will make two stops in New York, including Buffalo on Sept. 24 and Saratoga Springs on Sept. 25. The band also announced a series of shows scheduled also for 2027.
Following the lineup’s introduction in 2025, founding guitarist Greg Ginn continues leading Black Flag alongside a new generation of Gen-Z musicians. Current members include vocalist Max Zanelly, bassist David Rodriguez, and drummer Bryce Weston. Together, the band will revisit songs from Black Flag’s influential five-decade catalog.
Black Flag formed in 1976 in Hermosa Beach, California, originally performing under the name Panic. The group became one of the earliest hardcore punk bands and helped define the political expression of the post-hardcore moment.
Over 50 years after forming, Black Flag has established itself as a defining force in American underground music. Albums including Damaged, My War, Slip It In, Loose Nut, and In My Head continue influencing contemporary generations of punk, hardcore, metal, and alternative artists. Today, Black Flag remains an active touring act, bringing its influential sound to audiences worldwide.
Tickets and tour information are available through individual venues and Black Flag’s official channels. Keep in mind, tour dates are subject to change.
