We're 80's punks at heart and it's time again for one of our all time favorite annual music fests. We've been there every year and watched you grow up, baby! This year we're invading Humbolt Park for two days of excellent tunes, carnival rides, and anarchy.
We'll be bringing you band features, must see lists (don't tell me what to do), photo filled features and more.
First up, tonight we'll be shooting at Congress Theater
- Friday, Sep 14
Congress Theater
At least they're easing us in. Tonight there are 4 rockin' bands playing in sequence--not simultaneously. And there are no tough choices to be made. So go already. Tickets are sold out again, so if you have a 3 day band or tickets we'll see you out there. If not, rest up and we'll party in the park with you tomorrow.
Got PUNK KIN? Remember, Congress shows and the whole lineup Sat and Sun outside at Humboldt are all ages shows and free to kids under 5 years old with a paying adult. Check the tickets page for other venues age requirements.
