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

Posted on by

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.

At the same time, the destination festival is beginning to thrive here, as we are trying to copy the model from Europe that has reigned for nearly four decades. So throngs of people descended on the Los Angeles area `burb Pomona, known best for Citrus and good colleges, for what could be the one Punk Rock festival to rule them all; No Values Fest! Continue reading →

CONCERT REVIEW: The Misfits – Megadeth – Fear Live at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre

Posted on by

 

I am not going to say that reunion tours are not shameless cash grabs. Up to this point, KISS and Bauhaus are the only bands successful at luring me out to them. However, The Misfits were an equally important part of my youth. The mere thirty-minute drive into Tampa, was too tempting, despite my lingering resentment with Danzig’s terrible Elvis tribute album. Going to an outdoor venue in Florida after May, added to the difficulty level of taking my misanthropic self into a 20,000-seat-capacity amphitheatre. Fear being on the bill provided more motivation, however thanks to misinformation regarding the start time at the venue and Tampa traffic, Fear had finished their set as I set foot into the venue.
