Recess Romp Returns To California This Summer

Recess Romp is returning for its fifth instalment with a four-day celebration of punk, garage, and underground music at The Sardine in San Pedro, CA between August 13th and 16th. A cornerstone of the DIY music community, Recess Romp brings together legendary acts and rising favorites from across the scene. This year’s festival features performances from Dillinger Four, Off With Their Heads, Toys That Kill, Alice Bag, Middle Aged Queers and Jumpstarted Plowhards, alongside an eclectic roster of artists pushing the boundaries of punk and underground music. Tickets will be available here from the 10th April at 10AM PT .

“I’m excited, and actually surprised, to make it to Romp 5. Every year leading up to past Romps I moan, to anyone who listens, that I won’t do it the following year due to the stresses that are automatic with something like this. But then, on the final Romp night I’m screaming ‘I can’t wait ’til next year!’ There’s something about this weekend that keeps your toes high and your mind right. The mingling of outta towners mixed in with locals in our great Pedro town surpasses anything I could’ve ever planned or imagined.” (festival organizer and Recess Records label owner Todd Congelliere)
