The annual Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival will be back in downtown Las Vegas this weekend. The party kicks off Friday during Memorial Day weekend.

The Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival was started in 1999 as a way to bring the independent music community together for an annual party. It has since grown into a three-day festival in downtown Las Vegas that brings out fans and bands from all over the world.

Founders Shawn and Mark Stern of BYO Records and seminal Southern California band Youth Brigade have been heavily involved in the punk rock community since the late 1970s and spend countless hours scouring their record collections, memories and abilities to reach out to old friends and new to put together an amazing lineup every year.

Joining previously announced acts Rancid, NOFX, Pennywise, The Adicts and The Briefs are Cockney Rejects, Hepcat, Hot Water Music, Youth of Today, Street Dogs, Dead Ending, Real McKenzies, Old Man Markley, The Beltones, Far From Finished, Toys That Kill, American Heist, Holding on to Sound, The Bots, The Dips and American Werewolves. More than 60 bands will perform.

A three-day festival pass is $100 plus $5 service fee; single-day tickets are based on availability and are $40 plus $2.50 service. To purchase tickets, register for Punk Rock Bowling and for more information, visit www.punkrockbowling.com.
