Wexford PUNK Art and Music Festival

50 YEARS PUNK

Punk is very much alive! Never mind anyone claiming its demise over the last 50 years… From a small scene in New York and London, formed by a few creative malcontents in the 1970s, it became a global phenomenon and has forever permeated every facet of culture to-date.

 

This one-day celebration, aims to bring together Punks of all ages, subculture aficionados, and everyone else that wants to know what all the fuss was/is about. On show is astounding Punk art from local and international artists, an album design competition, as well as vintage artefacts. This is complemented with oral history and topical talks and ends with a Punk music festival that features 7 acts, with 3 young bands hitting the stage for the first time! It’s an amazing and unique concentration of all things Punk, an event that looks back fondly and plots a path to the future. Miss it and you’ll be none the wiser, come on the day and you’ll be… well, PUNK!
