St. Patrick’s Day weekend in Las Vegas is already a party. Add in a one day festival, and it’s the best party of the year!
That’s right, this year we get Shamrock Rebellion, a day filled with great bands, beer, and food.
When the festival was announced, obviously I was excited for Flogging Molly, who always puts on an amazing show, and always celebrates the weekend here in Vegas. We caught them last year, and it was one of the most high energy shows I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in a long time. The floor literally shook due to the amount of people, and I am sure they’ll get the synthetic grass of DTLVEC to vibrate as well during their headlining set!
However, my eyes immediately went to the Buzzcocks; the band that rooted my love for punk rock music even deeper. I’m very curious as to how they will sound without the legendary Pete Shelley, who we lost in 2018, but I am positive it will still be incredible.
Also announced on the bill is folk-punk Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls, So-Cal’s Face to Face, Amigo the Devil (which if you aren’t familiar, educate your damned self), Canada’s NOBRO (which give me Bikini Kill vibes), Gen & the Degenerates (who are a dancy kind of punk, kind of like Blondie), and more.
Granted, Orange County will get round 1 on March 16th, but we will see you at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, beers in hand!
