It’s been six months since Cameron Collins canceled his “Punk in the Park” festival after most of the billed bands pulled out, after fans called them out on Instagram for playing a show for someone who unapologetically donated to Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Now, Collins is betting on everyone’s sickening attention spans and attempting a comeback with his new “Silverado Music and Tattoo Festival.”
“O.C. Show up,” the festival’s website says, making no mention of Los Angeles or Southern California. Which begs the question: Is Collins hoping Orange County’s historically conservative demographic turns a blind eye to his support of Trump?
The one-day event is set for November 28 at Oak Canyon Park in Silverado, which is the same Orange County canyon that previously hosted “Punk in the Park” editions. The announced lineup includes Face to Face, Fear, Screeching Weasel, The Exploited, Leftover Crack, The Queers, Dwarves, and others, plus a live tattoo expo with artists from around the country.

Early messaging framed it as punk, “murder folk,” psychobilly, Americana, and beyond, with a general admission ticket to see the 17 bands priced at $77.44.
