All-girl punk rockers Bikini Kill recently reunited for a string of live shows, which saw them on stage for the first time since 1997.

As part of the tour, the girls played a gig at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre on Wednesday night and decided to invite legendary American singer/songwriter Joan Jett on stage.

Jett joined Bikini Kill towards the end of the set for a special rendition of the band’s 1993 hit “Rebel Girl.” As expected, this made crowd ecstatic and made a great show even better.

Back in January, Bikini Kill announced they are embarking on a tour with original members Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail, and Kathi Wilcox taking part in the reunion. Original guitarist Billy Karren was replaced by Erica Dawn Lyle.

Although the group was originally scheduled to play only four shows in the United States, three more were added later due to large ticket demand.

Following the US leg of the tour, the band is heading to the United Kingdom, where they’ll play two shows on June 10th and June 11th at London’s O2 Academy. British punkers Big Joanie will act as a support for these shows, while The Tuts and Childs Pose will be opening acts.
