Bands including Bad Religion, Pennywise, 7 Seconds, Fishbone, NOFX, Descendants, and The Bouncing Souls, will all play the main stage, while DI, TSOL, Sham 69, and Agent Orange, just to name a few, will hit the two additional stages. Thirty-five bands in all will keep the punk rock kids with plenty to see.
In addition to the music, the festival will also feature a Vans Old School skate jam with demos by Steve Caballero, Christian Hosoi, Mike Frazier, and many other legends of the skate world. BMX rider Dennis McCoy will also be getting into the mix.
There will also be a pop-up exhibition which will include an “Art’s Not Dead” exhibit showcasing and selling the work of some of punk’s finest artists including Dave Naz, Mark DeSalvo, Chris Shary and Jason Cardwell, as well as a “Punks Well Read” book signing the genre’s finest authors, including Jeff Alulis, Jack Grisham, and Jim Lindberg. Both will be curated by punk rock photographer Lisa Johnson.
