FRANKIE FEST 2026: SMASH PATRIARCHY - CELEBRATE LIFE
The 3rd Annual FRANKIE FEST is crashing into House of Yes, Brooklyn, May 3rd, 2026 with ten bands across two stages with drag, burlesque, and circus performers!
This ain't your average gig – it's a full-blown punk rock explosion dedicated to the legendary Frankie Maddox Rex, who left us way too soon.
Frankie was a force – a trans icon, a hellraiser, and the voice behind The FMs and BOYS. We're keeping their spirit alive with a night of pure, unadulterated rock 'n' roll chaos.
Expect a sonic assault of trans/queer/femme-fronted rock, no-wave, synth-punk, shoegaze, indie, riot grrl, goth, and hardcore and all the other best genres….
LINEUP:
The hosts of the event The FMs and Miss Cherry Delight will be seven other incredible bands to be announced on Weds, Mar 18th! In the meantime, we have a limited amount of $20 blind faith tickets for sale.
PLUS:
This is a night for the freaks, the rebels, and anyone who wants to scream their lungs out against the system. We're celebrating Frankie's legacy and building a community that refuses to be silenced.
MAY 3RD, 2026 | HOUSE OF YES | 2 WYCKOFF AVE, BROOKLYN
DOORS: 7PM
MUSIC: 8PM - 2AM
$17 ADVANCE / $25 AT THE DOOR
NO BIGOTS, NO NON-CONSENSUAL TOUCH!
Miss Cherry Delight
NYC based shock-rock succubus Miss Cherry Delight is straight out of a pulpy horror flick, dripping blood, and on a mission for pleasure
The FMs
Subversive trans & queer synth rock founded by Matte Namer & Frankie Rex. Carrying Frankie's torch, they have a new all trans girl four piece lineup delivering a set that's both a tribute and a blast of pure energy of candy synth punk. It’s a reminder, and a celebration.
LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE FOR FRANKIE!
