2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of Punk Rock in San Francisco, and it all started at the legendary Mabuhay Gardens (AKA: The Fab Mab), which is reopening, along with On Broadway, coming alive once again with the spirit of the 1970s and 1980s.
This event will feature an afternoon panel discussion, at the Fab Mab, with punk pioneers (musicians, photographers, writers, and pranksters), and culminate with an evening, upstairs at On Broadway, of legendary bands along with the new breed. Flipper & Friends, Frightiwg, and others from the original era will be hitting the stage. Newer San Francisco bands will grace the stage showing the crowd they would have fit right in 50 years ago, bringing the energy that we need now more than ever!
Many more bands will be announced in the coming weeks. Co-presented by San Francisco's Radio Valencia (radiovalencia.fm)
