2025 Half Way Point In Review

The Punk Rock Museum’s Second Year Anniversary

Earlier this year, I had the chance to step into a different role—giving tours at the Punk Rock Museum in Vegas. Walking people through the space, sharing stories, and seeing their faces light up at the history packed into those walls was seriously cool. One of my favorite moments was donating my old Ghost bass to the museum—yeah, that bass. It felt right knowing it’s now part of punk history, where fans from all over can see it up close. And in March, I got to be part of the Museum’s second anniversary roundtable alongside legends like Fat Mike, George Stephanopoulos, Jack Grisham, Kevin Lyman, and Edward Colver. Swapping stories, cracking each other up, and just celebrating two years of this punk rock time capsule—it was a reminder that even after all these years, this community still means everything to me. Zrocker and Yahoo News have a great review of the weekend!

Brazil with Garbage & The Monics

Kicking off our 2025 run, L7 hit Brazil this past March alongside Garbage and The Monics. The reviews coming out of those shows have been seriously humbling—words like ferocious, tight as hell, and timeless have been floating around. Whiplash caught on about how much we love visiting Brazil, from São Paulo to Rio. Write-ups mentioning how our sound still feels as urgent today as it did in the ‘90s… that’s the kind of review that keeps a band fired up and grateful.

Little Steven’s Underground Garage Cruise

Fast forward to May, where we set sail on Little Steven’s Underground Garage Cruise from Miami to Nassau. It was our first time playing on a cruise ship, and the vibe was electric in a whole different way. The Los Angeles Times was even on board and had some nice words to share about the event in their review. Journalists and blogs mentioned how cool it was to see punk, garage, and alt-country bands share a stage, and how L7’s set felt like a standout moment of the trip. A lot of people highlighted our connection with the crowd, and honestly, that was mutual. We thought so too.

Motoblot 2025

A few weeks back, L7 had the honor of ripping it up in Chicago as part of the inaugural Motoblot Festival, and let me just say—they nailed it. Everything ran tight and professional, which doesn’t always happen with new events. From the second we rolled in, the vibe was pure Chicago: loud, real, and ready to rock. The crowd brought serious heat, singing along, jumping around, and giving us that wild Midwest energy we love. Between the killer bands, the bikes, and catching up with old friends in the scene, it felt like exactly where we were meant to be. Big thanks to everyone who made Motoblot happen—we’d jump on board again in a heartbeat.

A Year of Loud Praise

Overall, 2025 has been shaping up as a year full of loud praise and louder shows. Whether it’s major outlets or smaller fan blogs, there’s been a genuine appreciation for how L7 keeps showing up—no frills, all fire. Huge thanks to everyone writing about these shows, snapping photos, and sharing their words. It means a lot. And if you’ve got a review or memory from one of our gigs this year, tag us or drop a line. We see you. To see other L7 2025 Tour Dates and Shows, click here.
