4 Non Blondes Extend Reunion Tour and Tease Exciting New Album

Linda Perry’s iconic band 4 Non Blondes is back on stage with fresh shows and an upcoming album that fans have been dreaming about.

From a 90s Classic to a New Chapter: The 4 Non Blondes Reunion Continues

If you thought the magic of 4 Non Blondes was a one-hit wonder frozen in the grunge era, think again. This year, the band, led by the powerhouse Linda Perry, reunited for their first full shows since the mid-90s—and they’re not stopping anytime soon. The group is set to light up the stage on December 15 at the Roxy in Los Angeles and December 17 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. It’s a chance to revisit the band’s signature energy in more intimate venues, reconnecting with audiences in a way festivals don’t quite capture.

Linda Perry shared, “4 Non Blondes have been having a great time playing all of these incredible festivals, but honestly, we are excited to get back to the clubs. It’s where every band starts. You figure out what songs people like, learn about your mistakes [and] how to read the audience, [and] most of all, the audience gets a better understanding of who you are in this more intimate setting.”

It’s clear the band isn’t just resting on its laurels—they’re eager to relive the raw, electric connection that comes with club gigs, the grassroots vibe that shaped their early days.

Rekindling the Spark: New Shows and New Sounds

The reunion isn’t merely a nostalgia trip. After coming back together earlier this year, Linda Perry, bassist Christa Hillhouse, and former touring members Dawn Richardson and Roger Rocha have been touring festivals, but now they're bringing it back to the smaller stages that shaped their sound.

What's especially thrilling for longtime fans? New material! The band has been showcasing fresh tracks like “Don’t Wanna,” “Drop the Bomb,” and “Monomorphic”—songs that hint at a creative renaissance and serve as the foundation for a highly anticipated follow-up to their 1992 debut album Bigger, Better, Faster, More!.

Perry gave a glowing nod to her bandmates: “They’re all phenomenal players and now they get a chance to show that. I couldn’t ask for a better band to play these songs.” This sentiment reflects a deep camaraderie and musical rejuvenation that has fueled the group’s momentum.

The Legacy of “What’s Up?” and Beyond

Let’s step back for a moment—because it’s impossible to talk about 4 Non Blondes without mentioning their iconic hit “What’s Up?” The song remains a defining anthem of the grunge era, bursting onto the scene with a unique blend of soulful vocals and alt-rock edge. Charting at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping singles charts across Europe, the track has amassed over 1.18 billion streams on Spotify alone. Its staying power is a testament to the band’s lasting impact.

Linda Perry’s journey didn’t end with the band’s hiatus. She transformed into one of the music industry’s most respected producers and songwriters, working with the likes of Christina Aguilera, Pink, Gwen Stefani, and Alicia Keys. Yet, the artist in her never fully retired.

“Playing some songs with 4 Non Blondes just seemed like a fun thing to do, in a way it hadn’t before now,” Perry reflects. “I’ve been behind the scenes for far too long. I want to step out to be the artist I am. I’m just open to all the possibilities that I’ve created around me. I manifest things all the time.”

Why This Reunion Feels Different

There’s something undeniably fresh about this reunion. It’s not just about reliving the past but about embracing new creative horizons. The band’s decision to focus on smaller venues feels like a return to roots, where authentic artistry thrives and the energy between band and audience is palpable.

For fans who have followed 4 Non Blondes from the beginning, this is more than a reunion—it’s a rebirth. And judging by the new songs already making waves live, the next chapter promises to be as compelling as their first.
