Wolf-Face, which plays Crowbar in Ybor City, Florida on July 3, 2024.

It’s pretty natural to start thinking about wieners anytime Wolf-Face is onstage. The long-running lupine St. Pete punk band marries the melodic and homoerotic with ease, and for America’s birthday Michael J. Wolf & co. headline the 18th installment of Tampa’s OG hot dog eating competition.

Tampa songwriter Jeremy Gloff will also be on hand to perform his raunchy “Hot Dog Party anthem,” along with a support bill of other Bay area rock acts and DJs.

Per usual, a whole lot of glory and a sick championship belt await whoever can gobble down the most meat sticks in eight minutes. This is thee Fourth of July party to attend in Tampa Bay.

Tickets to see Wolf-Face play Hot Dog Party 18 on Wednesday, July 3 at Crowbar in Ybor City are still available and start at $10. 7 p.m. $10.
