It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not the Hallmark holiday with the fat dude in the red suit – MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND! That means Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival!
It’s crazy to think that it’s already been about a year since we saw Billy Bragg, Madness, Devo, Gorilla Biscuits, 999, The Chats, and more at the Downtown Las Vegas Event Center. Now we are coming up quick on 2025, which is quickly proving to be one of the best lineups we’ve seen.
I mean, each night has something special about it with the headliners; as it is Social D’s FIRST ever PRB set, and sadly it will be Cock Sparrer’s last, but we also get a special treat with an entire Joy Division set by Peter Hook & the Light.
Returning this year will be the beloved Flag, The Damned, The Interrupters, The Adicts, and of course some others in the club show circuit like The Aggrolites, Adolescents, and Teenage Bottlerocket!
The best thing about PRB every year, aside from it being a big family reunion, is getting to discover new bands one may not have heard of as well. I’ve heard some great things about The Baboon Show, so I am really stoked to see how they are, and also excited to see Gen & the Degenerates make their PRB debut (we caught them at Shamrock Rebellion last year, and they kicked major ass).
2025 marks TEN DAMN YEARS that we’ve been at the festival, and although we still have to book our hotel for the weekend (if we don’t, no biggie, we live here, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier to get some rest), our cameras are dusted off, our Dr. Scholls are in our shoes (shut up, we aren’t young punks anymore), and we have our Liquid IV and sunscreen ready to beat the May sun!
General Admission and single day tickets are still available! Club show tickets are also available but are selling out FAST! You better get yours while you can! You can do so at the official Punk Rock Bowling website.
