The legendary Punk Rock Bowling festival held in downtown Las Vegas has been postponed until May 2021. The 2020 festival had already been moved once to the autumn after the May date was put back due to the C-19 pandemic.
The organisers posted the following message on Friday 3rd April.
“After much deliberation, we are sorry to inform everyone that we have had to make the difficult decision that we will be postponing Punk Rock Bowling until 2021. The current coronavirus pandemics rapid acceleration is a clear and ongoing threat to everyone and we feel it’s in the best interest of the fans, bands and all our wonderful staff and partners that we do not risk anyone’s health.
Over the last 6 months, we put our heart and soul into making the festival the best PRB to date. Unfortunately with travel up in the air, work visas for bands hard to obtain as government offices are barely functioning and a precarious economy, we couldn’t in good conscience ask everyone to plan for a great weekend in Vegas with the possibility that we would be told 2 months out that it will not happen AGAIN. The world needs to plow through this pandemic and take some time to heal and we want to give everyone that time and not promote false hope. And, as much as we like to gamble, we aren’t willing to gamble on the lives of our friends and family.
Believe us when we say we are absolutely gutted that we have to announce this. We apologize from the bottom of our broken hearts.
On a positive note, we have already reached out to many of the bands that were set to play PRB 2020 and have them locked in for 2021!”
All original tickets remain valid for 2021 and refunds are also available for those unable to make the new date.
Madness, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and The English Beat have all announced rearranged USA tour dates for May 2021. With the smart money being on them all set to play PRB 2021.
