A new queer rock festival is making its debut at Coney Island this May.
Frankie Fest is a new queer rock festival honoring the life and legacy of The FMs singer Frankie Maddox Rex.Frankie Fest is a one-night-only show that highlights queer artists. The festival was created in honor of Frankie Maddox Rex of the local band The FMs, who tragically passed away on May 11, 2022.
“Frankie Fest is something that I’ve wanted to do since I think 10 minutes after I found out that Frankie was gone. Frankie was like my best friend, I’m kind of the FM’s Fifth Beatle,” said local musician and Frankie Fest founder Miss Cherry Delight. “Frankie didn’t get to have a funeral at all. We didn’t get to say goodbye to him and it just sort of feels like he’s on this long road trip with no service, no way to call us, so there’s a little bit of an incomplete thing there.
“It’s really exciting, I think that performing feels really natural to me. I’m a little nervous about it, to be honest, because we haven’t played a show in over four years,” said Namer. “I have a new band lineup and we’re kind of jumping right into the fire. We have a duty to really honor Frankie by having it be a good performance. But mostly I’m just really excited.
