More than 150 bands played their hearts out for the 25th anniversary of Punk Rock Bowling over Memorial Day weekend in Downtown Las Vegas. Thousands of punks from all over the world and representing all ages came out to partake in the annual nihilistic triathlon of fast music, drugs, gambling, and alcohol.
This festival is exclusively for the most devoted of punk rock enthusiasts, starting at 11 AM with free poolside shows—complete with aquatic mosh pits—and continuing until 3:30 AM, featuring supplementary club shows with different headliners than those performing at the main festival.
Many crashed and burned under the unforgiving Las Vegas sun and ended up on the Passed Out Punx Instagram account, but the ones that weathered through it all were rewarded with one of the most diverse lineups in years.
