New York’s biggest punk rock festival is on its way back to town! On May 16-17, at Webster Hall, the “head bangers” and “moshers” of the Tri-State will come together for a weekend of debauchery and good times at the 6th Annual Black N’ Blue Bowl!
Each year, the festival gets bigger and more bands take part. One of the shows’ main attractions is how much pride they take in celebrating punk rock history, which draws bands and fans of the most hardcore caliber of punk to the show. If you’re into punk rock and you’re around mid-May, we at Whalebone suggest that you get your butt to Webster Hall and experience this hell of a party.
Here is a couple things you should know going into it.
