”I listened to London Calling to get inspired, but I think Joe Strummer once said if you want to be inspired, don’t listen to your idols — listen to your idols’ idols. So I also listened to a lot of Toots And The Maytals and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, and a ton of Trojan Records compilations.”

Circle Jerks, DEVO and more are also also on the lineup of the festival, which happens in September in Downtown Las Vegas.

After being postponed multiple times in 2020, Punk Rock Bowling plans to return in 2021, in the fall instead of the spring.
