The biggest punk rock party of the year has announced its dates and headliners for 2015.

The Punk Rock Bowling music festival returns to downtown Vegas next year from May 23-25 with Rancid, Refused and Dropkick Murphys topping the bill.

While Rancid and the Dropkick Murphys have headlined PRB before, Sweden’s Refused, who reunited a few years back after a lengthy hiatus and who have a new album coming out, will be making their PRB debut.

Many more bands will be announced in the coming weeks as well as ticket on-sale dates for the raucous festival which draws more than 6,000 fans a day.

There will also be club shows at night at various venues downtown following the final performance on the festival stage.
