There's still time to get your tickets for this music and camping extravaganza in September!
Scranton, Pennsylvania is the location for a brand new, DIY punk festival taking place at the end of the Summer.
With a packed lineup full of great punk acts, as well as a host of activities and vendors, this fest is set to make a fun filled debut!
Pennsylvania’s first DIY music and camping festival- Camp Punksylvania– takes place September 1st-3rd at the legnedary Circle Drive-In Theater. The venue has been continually running since 1949, making it one of the longest running drive-ins in the US. And now it can add punk rock host to its CV!
The festival features three stages and one-of-a-kind events that showcase and uplift the voices and talents of those in marginalised communities, as well as spotlighting notable artists for the fans.
Focusing largely on an eclectic and inclusive selection, the lineup has been curated by Riot Squad Media’s all-female executive team. Riot Squad was founded in 2019 and is a female owned and operated DIY media agency and they are working tirelessly to make this festival the best punk rock weekend on the calendar!
Confirmed acts include: The Suicide Machines, A Wilhelm Scream, Bad Cop/ Bad Cop, War on Women, The Dollyrots and UK’s own Bar Stool Preachers.
To get you warmed up for the fest, you can listen to the artists performing at Camp Punksylvania on this playlist.
There are still some tickets available for the weekend so if you can get yourself and your tent over to Pennsylvania for this event then get your tickets now!
