Vegas is obviously a huge destination for tourists, but Memorial Day weekend is special, because it’s the time of year we see the biggest influx of punk rock lovers in our valley. Mohawks and buttflaps become the norm in downtown Vegas due to the huge success of the Punk Rock Bowling Music Festival, this year headlined by Cock Sparrer, Descendents and NOFX, and also featuring a bevy of late night club shows, midday pool shows and even movie screenings.
You can read up on the Punk Rock Bowling schedule on their website, but with all the club shows sold out, we’ve received more inquiries than ever before on what else there is to see and listen to while in our neck of the woods this weekend. So before we go on our one week hiatus from posts in order to soak in all these shows for ourselves, we wanted to deliver our definitive answer on what other shows are going on in Vegas during PRB weekend:
