A day-long punk concert will return to Vernon in September.

The Anarchy in the O.K. Music Festival will be held at the Creekside Conference Centre on September 13, 2025.

This will be the second time the concert is held at the Vernon Recreation Centre.

The event will run from 3 p.m. to 12 a.m. and will be headlined by A Wilhem Scream and the Raygun Cowboys. Other acts performing at the Anarchy in the O.K. include WAIT/Less, Alien Boys, Mean Bikini, Die Job, Raddog, and Sundiver.

The organizers of the concert, and owners of the Small Axe Roadhouse in Enderby, said the event is meant to show that punk isn’t dead, and is “inclusive, non conforming, community-driven, and always has something to say.”

“We’re bringing people together through music—but also through impact,” said co-founder Carina Stokes.

“This festival is fueled by heart, the desire to do some good in our communities and having something to say in these uncertain times,” co-founder, Sarah Dudley, added.

Tickets are available online here.
