Bay Area punks can rejoice for Punk In The Park San Francisco will return in 2025. The second edition of the punk rock and craft beer festival takes place May 3 at the historic Cow Palace and will be headlined by Pennywise and Screeching Weasel.

Lagwagon and Comeback Kid are also on the bill, as well as Good Riddance, Dead To Me, Manic Hispanic, RKL, The Queers, Channel 3, The Side Eyes, Knocked Down and more. A mystery act is also part of the lineup with question marks on the poster on the list of bands.

Fletcher Dragge of Pennywise said, “What up peoples? Super stoked to be heading back to SF for Punk In  The Park number 2!! This lineup is absolutely insane; nothing better than sharing the stage with some of your favorite bands, good friends, and a few cold beverages! This one is gonna go hard! Can’t wait! See you f*ckers in the pit!!!”

The bands will perform on two stages with no overlapping set times. While craft beer will be offered at the event, which is produced by Orange County-based Brew Ha Ha Productions, fans of all ages can attend.

 Brew Ha Ha Productions originally created Punk In The Park in Southern California two years ago and followed up with successful iterations of the event in other cities including San Diego, Orlando, Ventura, Phoenix and Denver. Punk In The Park in San Francisco this year was a success for the organizers with The Descendants, The Vandals and Dead Kennedys as headliners.

“It’s been made clear to us these last couple years in the Bay Area…punk rock is alive and well and Punk In The Park has a solid home there among its patrons and punks,” Cameron Collins, producer of Punk In The Park and co-founder of Brew Ha Ha Productions said. “Screeching Weasel is a band I’ve been trying to book for one of the festivals for the past decade, so having them aboard is really exciting. This lineup is one of the coolest we’ve assembled, we’re stoked!”
