Bad Religion and Dead Kennedys to Headline Lucky Punks! Festival in Silverado

Orange County's Brew Ha Ha Productions and Punk in the Park are excited to announce another vibrant St. Patrick’s Day celebration dedicated to punk rock and craft beer enthusiasts.

The Lucky Punks! festival will take place on Saturday, March 15, at Oak Canyon Park in Silverado. This one-day music and craft beer event will host an impressive lineup featuring iconic punk bands including Bad Religion and Dead Kennedys, along with performances from The Aquabats, Lagwagon, and Street Dogs, which will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their album Back to the World by performing it in full. Other acts include The Defiant, The Briggs, Pulley, and Hoist the Colors.

Tickets for this all-ages festival start at $54.99 for general admission and $149.99 for VIP access, available at punkinthepark.com.

For attendees aged 21 and over, there is an option to indulge in a three-hour craft beer tasting experience for an additional $15. This tasting will showcase a diverse selection of local breweries. A variety of food options, including vegan choices, will be provided by local food trucks and vendors.

Previously, in March, Brew Ha Ha Productions collaborated with the Los Angeles punk band Flogging Molly to host the first-ever Shamrock Rebellion music and craft beer festival at Oak Canyon Park. This event featured performances from Flogging Molly, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, Buzzcocks, and Face to Face, among others.

The Punk in the Park festival was initially scheduled to kick off in Orange County in 2020, but its launch was delayed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The festival finally debuted in November 2021, hosting renowned acts such as Pennywise, NOFX, and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Typically, this festival takes place annually in November at Oak Canyon Park.

Last year’s Punk in the Park featured headliners Pennywise and Descendents, and included the Vans Vert Ramp with professional skaters and BMX riders. The event also expanded to the Ventura Fairgrounds in March 2023, showcasing a stellar lineup that included Pennywise, Suicidal Tendencies, The Bouncing Souls, and Fear.

In addition, Brew Ha Ha Productions partnered with the Punk in Drublic Craft Beer & Music Festival for the final three shows of the iconic punk band NOFX, held at San Pedro’s Berth 46 in early October.
