Off the back of announcing their first US shows in over two decades, punk group Bikini Kill have also revealed a London date for later this year.

It's been 23 years since Bikini Kill last played in London, and today they've revealed that they will play Brixton's O2 Academy in June.

The one-off show arrives after announcing their reunion last month with two shows in LA and New York in April and May.

Bikini Kill will reunite with original members Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail, and Kathi Wilcox, alongside guitarist Erica Dawn Lyle, who will perform instead of Billy Karren.

Back in 2015 they revealed a demo version of their debut album, Revolution Girl Style Now track, "Ocean Song".

In October 2018 Kathleen Hanna launched a new charity T-shirt line to help send young girls to school in Togo called TEES 4 TOGO.

Bikini Kill will play London's O2 Academy Brixton on 10 June. Tickets go on sale Friday (22 February) from 10am.
