Punk Rock Bowling 2016 Festival Lineups Announced
Well, it’s a really slow news time since it’s between Christmas and New Years, so I’m not really getting any press releases with any relevant news. I realized I never posted the full PRB 2016 festival lineups so, I’m backtracking and doing that now! This is a preface for those people who will see this and be like “hey dumbo, these were announced a long time ago” and so yes, I am fully aware. Anyway, moving on with the lineup!
Back on December 7th, the PRB 2016 headliners were announced (you can read about that on PWV). Now, the festival has released the lineups for Saturday, Sunday and Monday for both the Las Vegas (May 26-30) and Asbury Park (June 10-12) locations.
As far as the Memorial Day weekend in Vegas (the original PRB, of course), the festival will take place May 26th through the 30th in downtown Frement St. Club shows will start Thursday (5/26) and run every night through Monday, the 30th. The regular festival will be at the outdoor stage starting Saturday, May 28th and continuing through Monday, May 30th. The festival stages run from 3-11 pm Sat/Sun and 2-10pm Monday. All shows are 21+.
Ticket information is available, and prices are as follow:
3 Day Festival Pass: $120
3 Day VIP Fest Pass: $350

The brand new Asbury Park location was because of the high demand of an east coast festival. Many PRB goers are mad because it takes away some of what made PRB so special and unique- you had to travel to the ONE location every year to experience it, and we all did it together. Instead of thinking in that mindset (which I totally understand), think of it as if you were one of those people unable to travel that far and now that there is one in New Jersey, you can experience all the fun that is Punk Rock Bowling. Vegas will always be the OG so, they’ll always that that at least. Now, regarding the June 10th through 12th Asbury Park festival, which will take place at The Stone Pony Summer Stage Friday and Saturday nights, the shows are 2-10 pm. Club shows will be Friday and Saturday in various venues around the boardwalk.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, January 9th at 12:30 pm PST and bowling registration is available January 9th at 12:30pm PST. The club shows will also be announced sometime in March. Lineups are below.
