Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival is celebrating 25 years, and the single-day lineups are here. If a full weekend isn’t in the cards, no problem—now you can pick a day, see your favorite band, and still make it back to work in one piece (probably). This year’s lineup features Social Distortion, Peter Hook & The Light performing the best of Joy Division, and Cock Sparrer taking their final PRB bow. Gang of Four will rip through their seminal album Entertainment!, while the Cockney Rejects, joined by Olga from the Toy Dolls, bring an unruly blend of chaotic energy. Rounding it out, we’ve got The Interrupters, FLAG, Power Trip, Lambrini Girls, Bad Nerves, The Damned, FIDLAR, The Bouncing Souls, CIVIC, Frank Turner, NOBRO, Youth Brigade, Bridge City Sinners, The Adicts, Amigo the Devil, Angel Dust, The Baboon Show, Gen and The Degenerates, Upchuck, and a whole mess of others.Continue reading

Punk Rock Bowling 2024 Books Social Distortion, Peter Hook and The Light, Cock Sparrer, Frank Turner, Power Trip, Flag, FIDLAR, The Damned, The Interrupters, Amigo the Devil and More
This Memorial Day Weekend in 2025, Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival will celebrate 25 years of unapologetic chaos, community, and pure DIY spirit. What began as a punk rock family reunion has become an annual pilgrimage, built not by corporations but by the grit and passion of the punk rockers who make it all possible. After a quarter-century of breaking the rules, we’re excited to reveal the lineup that embodies everything this festival stands for. Social Distortion is making their PRB debut, bringing that raw, legendary sound filled with Mike Ness’s stories of love, loss, and resilience. Then there’s Peter Hook & The Light, performing the best of Joy Division. From the haunting strains of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” to “Ceremony”, their iconic catalog will pull you into a world of shadows and light. The celebration keeps rolling with Cock Sparrer, the legendary East End London street-punk that’s been tearing it up since 1972. With a core group of members who’ve stuck together from day one, these longtime allies are taking their final festival bow in a bittersweet farewell. Other bands performing includes Frank Turner, Power Trip, Flag, FIDLAR, The Damned, The Interrupters, Amigo the Devil, Laura Jane Grace and The Mississippi Medicals and many more listed below.
