Punk Rock Raduno 8 in Italy

Posted in Shows on June 19, 2025

"In a world of overpriced, over-polished festivals run by big players with big names, we choose to do the opposite," says Punk Rock Raduno. "No tickets. No headliners. No barriers. No profit."

Features 40+ bands from many countries, the small stage event takes place this year from July 17-20 in Bergamo, Italy. A few notable acts include the Marked Men, Dopamines, Squirtgun, The Peawees, Hakan, MakwWar, Bricheros, SACK, and more.

With the full line-up, as of today, listed below.

The festival also includes a feature called Rookie Stage, limited to artists 20 and younger, plus additional makers and exhibits.
