Baby go ‘head because Big Freedia is heading to Tampa next month.
Tickets to see Big Freedia on Friday, Nov. 19 at Crowbar in Ybor City, Florida are on sale now and start at $25 (28 if you feel like pressing your luck waiting to get them the day of. For an additional $50 you get a meet and greet with the “Karaoke” singer).
If you’ve never seen the Queen of Bounce up close, you’re in for a real booty shaking treat.
The show marks Freedia’s return to Crowbar after playing the room in 2017. The New Orleans resident, and anti-gun activist, had a Best of the Bay-winning performance at Gasparilla Music Fest in 2020. So if you want to end 2021 with some Big Diva Energy, this is the show for you. Just be practicing your twerk and don’t forget your earplugs—Freedia likes the music loud and the bass booming.
