Punk in the Parking Lot @ Palladium Outdoors, Sep 27 2025

10 hours of punk rock and hot asphalt - Lets Go!!  


Steve and I made the trip out to Worcester for an amazing all day punk rock fest, which should have taken place in Green Hill park but was instead planted in the palladium parking lot. Womp Womp. 

Pro tip - go to Moynaghs before, during and after outdoor shows.  You can hear music and practically see the stage from the bar which is directly across the street from said parking lot.  Bartender was super friendly and showed us the autograph book of bands that have rolled through.  Some heavy hitters are in that book.  No pics though.  You need to visit and see it for yourself.  We ordered "nanners" which is what Steve's bro Kevin calls Naragansett.  HA. 

Here are some great t-shirts from the show:


(👀 zebrahead!?) 

 


(Descendents casual gear)






(Hell yes!) 
The winner of best T-shirt goes to this homie: 

Shout out to homie Joel with the Death shirt.  We talked about Death To All tour (that I missed last year) and Carcass.  Dude is a fan of Swansong, so I took this pic for Sol, who is the second person on earth to love that album. 


Did we actually see any bands? 

The Vandals replaced Propaghandi who bailed on the tour date. 


(Anti-Fascist since 1980, take that Dropkick Murphys!) 

They played an amazing set including this classic: 


Pennywise rocked! 


Bad Religion played for an hour and half.  Did not disappoint.  The pit was super fun and I was super sore the next day. Worth it!
