From the organizer

PIGFACE 35 , "rdquo" -> One of the greatest supergroups ever." --- Parade, 2026 Included in Revolver's , "rdquo" -> 12 Greatest Supergroups in Hard-Rock and Heavy-Metal History" Pigface returns after a 7 year gap for a 35th anniversary show at Thalia Hall on Friday, November 27th. Martin Atkins describes it simply: , "rdquo" -> We perform to honor those who came before us" Several members of the Pigface family are no longer with us, and with a thing this unstable, this human, this loud, this complicated and expensive --- you don't assume it will happen this same way again. En Esch and I Speak Machine will open the night. The lineup features Martin Atkins (PiL, Killing Joke), En Esch (KMFDM), Randy Blythe (Lamb of God), Mary Byker (Gaye Bykers on Acid), Curse Mackey (Evil Mothers), Tara Busch (I Speak Machine), Greta Brinkman (Moby, Druglord), Justin Pearson (The Locust, Deaf Club) and Laura Jane Grace. With Dirk Flanigan (77 Luscious Babes), Krztoff Bile (Bile), Orville Kline (Porn n' Chicken), Mea Fisher (Lords of Acid), Alicia Gaines (Ganser) and Duane Buford (Ministry). On drums are Mike Miczek (Black Cross Hotel), Brian Cundiff (Ganser), Leanne Murray (The Beer Nuts) and Beanz (Didjits). The horn section features Roger Ebner, Bruce Lamont, Annabelle Bruels, Gavin Enlow, Thomas Burton and William Washington. The lineup also includes Leyla Royale, Barbara Hunter, Ian Atkins, Circus Apocalypse's Andrew The Impaler and David Apocalypse. And more?! Pigface was never a normal supergroup. Most supergroups are assembled after fame. Pigface was different. Pigface caught artists, sounds and scenes while they were still mutating --- before the mainstream knew what to call them, before audiences were sorted into clean genre categories, and before collaboration became a marketing strategy. Forged during the white hot heat of the Ministry Cage tour by Martin Atkins and Bill Reiflin -- the lineup of this incarnation reads like its own 2 day festival.
