Liz Phair & Sleater-Kinney: The Flannel and The Fury 2026

For a certain kind of person, these two names are not a concert bill — they are the reason they picked up a guitar, or told a boss off, or stopped apologizing. Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville rewrote what a woman was allowed to say on a record; Sleater-Kinney turned righteous fury into three-piece precision that still sounds like a warning. Putting them on one stage in El Cajon, at the very first date of the co-headlining tour, is the kind of thing that makes a generation of listeners drive two hours without thinking twice. Expect flannel, expect volume, expect a room full of people who found these records at exactly the moment they needed permission to be loud. The Magnolia keeps it close and unpolished, the way this music was meant to be heard. Sunday, September 6, 2026, 5:30pm. Bring the friend who taped Whip-Smart off the radio with you — this one has been twenty-five years coming.
