Call For Entries: If you’ve seen our 2020 PRN Awards nominee list then you must have noticed the People’s Choice Award this year will be a video contest. If your band played a PRN show between Sept 11, 2019 and Sept 5, 2020 and released a video in that time frame then send us the link to your video and you’ll be entered! This includes bands that were booked for a PRN show but had it cancelled due to the shutdown. We will have a page up for voting by Thursday this week. Let’s see those videos!

Founded in October 2000, PRN is the longest running weekly punk showcase on the planet, the legendary shows are at The Historic Melody Inn in Indianapolis, IN.

Everyone over the age of 21 is welcome to come out and listen to some great local, regional national and international bands and as well as special acts like ocmedy and sideshow acts. Enjoy some of the Melody Inn’s high-octane social lubricants or even some great local beers. Smoking is allowed in the outside Smoker’s Garden and you can relax in the back PBR lounge.
