Last year, Punk Rock Bowling founders gave us an early Christmas present with the announcement of the first wave of PRB 2014 bands just days before seeing what Santa left in our stockings. So obviously, we still have a few more agonizing weeks to go until we find out who’s playing next year, right?

Well, surprise! This year they’re giving us something extra to be thankful for with the first wave of 2015 bands announced – just in time to explain to your grandma the difference between PRB and Warped Tour as she passes you the gravy.

Rancid, Dropkick Murphys and Refused have all been announced to play the festival. Many more bands will be announced in the coming months, and we will keep you updated as more news is released.

Punk Rock Bowling will once again be held Memorial Day weekend, May 23-25 in downtown Las Vegas. More info about the festival can be found at punkrockbowling.com
