The Punk Rock Museum Will Open It’s Doors April 1st

After years of planning and tireless collaboration from the punk collective, The Punk Rock Museum will open its doors on April 1st as will their bar, The Triple Down, which will be open to ensure all thirsty visitors are well hydrated. The name for the bar was inspired by two legendary punk bars, The Triple Rock and the Double Down. When the doors open, visitors will feel the passion that has gone into the museum as they explore 12,000 square feet of exhibits encompassing five decades of punk history. This will include the Jam Room, where guests can play instruments originally owned by punk musicians who wanted to give them a permanent home to be shared by many. Chris Shiflett (Me First and The Gimme Gimmes) contributed his green guitar featured on the back cover of the band’s Take A Break album.

Pete Koller (Sick Of It All) has donated his white ESP Viper guitar to play in the Jam Room for a hands-on experience. As well, Pete will be doing guided tours on April 14th-16th. When Pete got asked the question of what he was most looking forward to when being a tour guide, he said, “I am very excited to share my stories about some of the exhibits at the punk rock museum even if I don’t know the true story I will make some shit up for you.”

The Punk Rock Museum is also home to the Vegas Punk Shop and will be the place to buy customized punk merchandise. The store will offer unique items inspired by the world’s most extensive punk collection. On April 15th the museum will celebrate the opening of its signature wedding chapel and on May 1st The Punk Rock Museum‘s tattoo parlor will begin taking bookings.
