Folk Punk

Folk Punk: 34 upcoming festivals, including 15 with tickets on sale.

Folk punk blends the raw energy and rebellious spirit of punk rock with the acoustic instrumentation and storytelling traditions of folk music, often featuring mandolins, accordions, and banjos alongside driving rhythms. This unique fusion emerged and gained popularity in the 1980s, drawing from both traditional folk elements and the DIY ethos of punk. Iconic artists like The Pogues and Violent Femmes were instrumental in defining the genre's sound and appeal. Its influence extends to notable subgenres such as Celtic punk and gypsy punk, which have also achieved commercial success.
