Punk Rock Raduno Festival To Show European Premiere Of NOFX’s “40 Years Of Fuckin’ Up” Documentary

Since 2016, Punk Rock Raduno has grown into one of Europe’s best-loved independent punk rock festivals while remaining completely free to attend. Every summer it transforms Bergamo into a four-day celebration of DIY culture, filling parks, clubs, bookstores, bike workshops and community spaces with concerts, exhibitions, record fairs, films, workshops and visitors travelling from all over the world. This year’s edition, Make Your Own Kind Of Music, takes place between the 16th and 19th July. The festival recently issued Punk Rock Raduno Vol. 9, a 31-track collection featuring unreleased songs, live recordings and rare cuts from this year’s lineup ithat is available via streaming platforms and Bandcamp.

“These last few days before Raduno are always a beautiful mess. Things keep moving, little details keep changing, new ideas keep popping up and we’re doing our best to make everything fit together. That’s why we’ve just uploaded the final programme. There have been a few updates here and there, especially around the School of (Punk) Rock, so even if you’ve already checked the schedule, it’s worth having another look and keeping an eye on the website over the next few days. One thing we’re ridiculously excited about is the European Premiere of 40 Years of Fuckin’ Up, the new NOFX documentary. Ever since we saw it back in March at SXSW in Austin, we knew we had to bring it to Bergamo somehow. Not just because NOFX have meant so much to us over the years, but because the whole story behind the film fits this year’s theme almost too perfectly. We’re honestly super grateful that Fat Mike, the band and the whole crew trusted us with the European premiere. It really means a lot.”

“Tickets are on sale now, and you’ll find the links in the programme. We also opened a Telegram group where you can find or offer rides, share accommodation, meet people and help each other out before and during the festival. And one last thing… we’ll soon share all the details about booking your seat on the Take The Sixty Train on Saturday morning, plus the shuttle bus to the Saturday night After Party at Daste. We want everyone to get around easily and safely. See you all very, very soon.”
