Punk Rock Bowling is back in 2025, celebrating 25 years of live music, energetic crowds, and everything that makes punk rock unforgettable. This year’s anniversary festival is shaping up to be one of the best yet, with three full days of performances, legendary bands, and plenty of activities to keep you busy. From May 24th to May 26th, the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center will host an exciting lineup featuring a mix of iconic acts and up-and-coming talent on two stages, with zero overlap in sets so you won’t miss a minute of the action. The festival is all ages, so everyone can join in on the fun!
Whether you’re a longtime fan or newer to the scene, this fest offers something for everyone. You can expect a well-rounded lineup that blends punk’s past, present, and future. Acts like Cock Sparrer, Social Distortion, Peter Hook & The Light, The Adicts, The Damned, Youth Brigade, The Interrupters, and more will be bringing the noise this year, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. But it’s not just about the music—Punk Rock Bowling is about coming together as a community, meeting new friends or reuniting with old, and celebrating a tradition that’s been going strong for 25 years.
Beyond the music, the festival will also feature a range of food and merch vendors to keep you fueled and stocked up for the day. Whether you’re grabbing a bite or picking up some festival gear, there’s always something to do between sets.
