Punk In The Park Cancels All 2026 Dates

Punk in the Park has announced that it will be cancelling all dates for the 2026 calendar year. The cancellation comes in the wake of numerous bands dropping off and criticizing the festival, whose organizer was revealed to have donated to the campaign of President Donald Trump in previous years. The festival was set to take place on April 18th in Pittsburgh, PA; May 2nd in Orlando, FL; and May 23rd in Vallejo, CA.

“It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the Punk in the Park road show events scheduled for 2026.

These shows were something we truly believed in, and we know how much they meant to many of you. Unfortunately, the current climate surrounding the events has created challenges that make it impossible for us to move forward in a way that delivers the experience our fans, artists, and partners deserve.

This is incredibly disappointing for everyone involved. Our goal has always been to bring people together through music, community, and shared passion - and it’s painful when circumstances prevent that from happening.

All ticket holders will receive full refunds automatically at their original point of purchase within the next week. No action is required.

We want to sincerely thank the fans who supported us, the bands who stood with us, and the crews who worked hard behind the scenes. Your belief in these events has meant more than you know.

We hope this is not the end of Punk in the Par, but rather a pause while we regroup and look toward the future.”
