"We are choosing to celebrate Frankie's life, as opposed to focusing on the tragedy of their death, said Matte Namer, Frankie's longtime collaborator and co-founder of the festival."
"Performing in rock bands was such a major part of Frankie's life. That passion is now embedded into the DNA of the festival itself."
"Moving into House of Yes, a venue long associated with experimental performance, queer nightlife, and radical creativity, feels both symbolic and personal."
Frankie Fest, a queer-led rock festival, honors the late Frankie Maddox Rex, the lead singer of The FMs. Now in its third year, the festival will take place on May 3 at House of Yes, marking a significant evolution. Organizers emphasize that the event is a celebration of Frankie's life rather than a traditional memorial. The festival aims to create a space where memory transforms into momentum, reflecting the deep connection between Frankie and the music scene in New York.
