Now in its third year, Punk in the Park partnered with Costa Mesa-based skate shoe and apparel company Vans to bring in its vert ramp and several pro skateboarders and BMX riders including Steve Caballero, Christian Hosoi, Bucky Lasek, Lizzie Armento and Josh Borden. Throughout the day, these athletes put on a show of their own, catching the attention of the masses with impressive high-flying moves on the narrow and steep ramp.
Later in the day, Scowl, Drain, Suicide Machines, Guttermouth, Narcoleptic Youth, The Dickies and GBH got the crowd fired up for evening sets by Circle Jerks and day one headliner, Pennywise.
Sunday’s Punk in the Park lineup includes Descendents along with Goldfinger, Buzzcocks, Lawrence Arms, The Dwarves, The Queers, Throwrag, Elvis Cortez, The Side Eyes, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Casualties, The Defiant and more.
