Punk at festivals

Punk rock took shape in the mid-1970s, at New York's CBGB from 1974 and in London with the Sex Pistols from late 1975. Its do-it-yourself ethic carries into the festivals: many run across several small city venues a few minutes' walk apart, with dozens of bands a day. Punk rock, hardcore, pop-punk and ska share the stages.

Rebellion, founded in 1996 as Holidays in the Sun, fills Blackpool's Winter Gardens for four days on the first weekend of August. The Fest, running since 2002, spreads across bars and halls in downtown Gainesville, Florida, around Halloween. Manchester Punk Festival, started in 2015, plays Easter weekend in venues along Oxford Road, where founder Kieran Kelly notes every room is a two-to-ten-minute walk away. These are indoor events, so plan a hotel rather than a tent.
