Violent Femmes at Embassy Theatre – Fort Wayne, IN

Get your tickets to see Violent Femmes in Fort Wayne, IN. Happening on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at Embassy Theatre. Doors open at 8:00 PM.

Making music that’s jittery, neurotic, darkly comical, but also powerfully catchy, the Violent Femmes are a pillar of the American underground movement, and one of the best early examples of alternative rock. Full of songs built from the unlikely combination of acoustic instruments and seething bile, their self-titled 1983 debut was a groundbreaking collection of tuneful angst, and they released albums steadily through the ’80s and ’90s, including standout moments like the sharp but melodic folk-rock of 1991’s Why Do Birds Sing?

Accessible seating is available for purchase on Ticketmaster.com, over the phone and at the Embassy Theatre Box Office.
