SCRANTON — Camp Punksylvania highlights regional artists and notable talents in the punk rock scene. The three-day music and camping festival takes place at the Circle Drive-In from September 1 to September 3.
The punk rock lineup includes The Suicide Machines, A Wilhelm Scream, Tsunami Bomb, Bad Cop Bad Cop, War On Women, The Dollyrots, The Bar Stool Preachers, Belvedere, and Mikey Erg, among many others!
Camp Punksylvania Music & Camping Festival announced another round of bands set to perform at the highly anticipated 3rd annual event, this time on their brand new Sampler Stage. Located in the heart of Misfits Market, the Sampler Stage puts an intimate focus on the up-and-coming bands in the scene. With no barricade and 10-minute sets, the Sampler Stage is meant to pay homage to the festival’s DIY roots.
Pennsylvania’s first DIY music & camping festival, Camp Punksylvania takes place September 1-3 at the legendary Circle Drive-In Theater in the Dickson City area. The festival features three stages and one-of-a-kind events that showcase and uplift the voices and talents of those in marginalized communities, as well as spotlighting notable artists for the fans. Focusing largely on an eclectic & inclusive selection, talents are curated by Riot Squad Media’s all female executive team in collaboration with booking agencies, management and PR firms, record labels, media outlets & lifestyle brands.
