Inaugural Coney Island “Frankie Fest” Announced

The FMs have announced the first-ever Frankie Fest, an annual queer rock festival honoring the legacy of the late Frankie Rex, that will take place on May 11th at Coney Island. The event, which will also serve as the record release party for The FMs new album, Pink & Black, will feature the first performance from The FMs in over four years, and the first-ever without Frankie. Frankie Fest will highlight a range of cutting-edge NYC-based queer performers showcasing indie rock, goth, riot grrrl, punk, metal and more and will include appearances by Pink Velvet Witch, Jordan Fiction, Villins, Llynks, Frida Kill, and Miss Cherry Delight.

Frankie Fest is a benefit for CFLC (Chosen Family Law Center). Proceeds benefiting CFLC’s new Frankie Maddox Rex Memorial Fund will support low-income TNBGNC New Yorkers with free legal services to support the dignity and safety they deserve, including name changes, support with identity documents, asylee green card applications and medical advance directives.
