Bamboozle set to return in 2023
It’s official. In celebration of its 20th anniversary, Bamboozle Festival is returning in 2023—the first time in over a decade. It is set to run from May 5-7, 2023.
You can watch the announcement video below.
“We’re back,” Bamboozle founder John D’Esposito says. “The clowns are safe and home where they belong. 2023 can’t come soon enough. Let’s get it.”
After "hate messages and threats", NOFX drop off Punk Rock Bowling
NOFX were set to be one of the headliners at this year’s Punk Rock Bowling festival. However, that all changed after a band meeting led to the band deciding to drop off of the festival. The decision comes following controversy over the band’s previous 2018 appearance and the comments they made onstage about the 2017 shooting at Las Vegas country festival Route 91 Harvest Music Festival where 60 people were killed. Fat Mike at the time said, "at least they were country fans and not punk rock fans."
On the decision to drop off the festival, Fat Mike writes:
NOFX had a meeting this week and decided we shouldn’t play out of respect that wounds are still healing. There has been a lot of hate messages and threats because we are on the bill, It just feels wrong. We know we said shitty things that caused it, so we get it. Sorry to everyone that wanted to see us. It’ll have to be in a different city.
Hopefully we can see you all in Vegas when the time’s right.
The band has been replaced by Descendents.

Relient K appears to be doing a little teasing. One of the band’s members, Jon Schneck, tweeted out an image of the band in what appears to be a jam session, maybe a studio, with the caption “It really is like riding a bike.” Another member, Ethan Luck, tweeted out an image of himself and drummer Dave Douglas. Maybe new music on the way?
Speaking of teasing, it looks like Motion City Soundtrack is doing the same. They shared a video on Instagram that seems to capture the band’s past and present. New album on the way? A documentary? We’ll see.
Angels and Airwaves are officially done recording and the album is finished. Now we wait for it to arrive. Looks like we’ll be receiving a new song from the band called “Euphoria” on May 17th.

And we did it over the past, like, I think couple of years. But we just got to figure out, like, when that comes out, and how we do that. But we plan to.” (Kerrang!)
