Punk Festival time in Morecambe is now held annually every May. It was previously clashing with the Warped tour in the US from June to August, so the new May Punk Festival time in Morecambe is more preferable to getting US punk bands over for this superb punk gathering!
This punk festival works hard to get those big name bands, and the organisation around it in Morecambe is excellent, with lots of cheap camping available, all in a Lancashire seaside venue, Morecambe, which has plenty of that good old off the wall character (and each year you can chart the increasing deterioration of the Midland Hotel!)
Morecambe's annual May Punk Festival has had some big name punk bands on the menu in recent years, including The Undertones, The Rezillos, Argy Bargy, Howards Alias, The Skulls (usa), The Bones (Germany), 999, Cheap Sex (usa), Discipline, The Skeptix, The Crabs, Midnight Creeps, Assert, Threats and many more.
The renowned punk festival organisers WASTED are responsible for the Morecambe Punk do, and they organise other events in both Amsterdam and in the US.
Morecambe Punk Music Festival has been going for a few years now, so it's really becoming an event on the punk map. Over the years they've been putting on much more entertainment for kids, making it easier for punk music loving families to come along.
Punk band venues in Morecambe during the festival include Morecambe Market Arena, the Dome, The Platform and The Carlton. It comes alive Morecambe during this festival, with not just the music but an array of punk anarchy, punk clothing, punk fashion, and punk art stalls and stands.
