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.
