    About This Event

    At Starland Ballroom, Philadelphia's Mannequin Pussy deliver riot grrrl and queercore–inflected indie punk centered on vocalist Marisa “Missy” Dabice, shifting between blunt melodic hooks and sudden bursts of volume. Support comes from Lip Critic, a rock/pop outfit whose tight rhythmic shifts and clipped vocals, plus a growing Spotify presence, position them as a concise opening chapter rather than a stylistic detour.
