Punk Rock Bowling, which canceled its planned 2020 Las Vegas festival due to the pandemic, has revealed the lineup for its 2021 edition—scheduled for September 24-26 at Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.
Devo, NOFX and Circle Jerks are set to anchor a bill that also includes Streetlight Manifesto, Lunachicks, Propagandhi, Municipal Waste, The Lawrence Arms, Anti-Flag, The Bronx, Roy Willis, The Aggrolites, Youth Brigade, Good Riddance, Ho99o9, Plague Vendor, Pears, Bishops Green, Bridge City Sinners and The Last Gang so far, with "a sh*t ton more bands" still to be announced in April, according to the official poster.
Participating afterparty and pool party acts also remain TBD.
General admission three-day passes for the outdoor, all-ages portion of the festival are on sale now for $170 plus fees at punkrockbowling.com. Those still holding passes for the 2020 festival have the option to use them for the 2021 version or obtain a refund.
The 2020 lineup also included Circle Jerks, Streetlight Manifesto, Lunachicks, Propagandhi, The Lawrence Arms, Good Riddance and The Last Gang, along with others including Cock Sparrer, Madness, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Adicts and Stiff Little Fingers.
The inclusion of NOFX on this year's bill is likely to be controversial after the band joked about the October 1, 2017 Route 91 Harvest Fest mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip during NOFX's May 2018 Punk Rock Bowling set in Las Vegas. The band later issued an apology for its comments.
