Wow, what a weekend... Easton Punk Festival 2026 - you were amazing!! 🧷🖤🧷
As the new kids on the block, we at The Old Stillage would like to say that it was an absolute pleasure and privilege to be involved in such a positive representation of our beautiful BS5 community. 🖤🖤🖤
Massive love and respect to all the crews at The Chelsea Inn , The Lion, BS5, The Plough , Carnival Punks, and all of our co-conspirators who worked so hard to make it happen - too many to name individually, but you know who you are 😉🖤😘
We are blown away by the energy and enthusiasm that our little corner of Bristol has managed to inspire...
From the bands, the promoters, the DIY collectives, the infrastructure crews, the local independent breweries, everybody that donated their time, energy, and resources - between us all, we have raised a significant amount for grassroots organisations working in our immediate community and beyond.
But all of this is only possible with the support of our family of wonderful weirdos - ALL OF YOU!!
Thankyou for the love and respect you all shared for one another - a little punk festival in Bristol may not change THE world, but we are changing OUR world.
Keep on keeping on 🖤🖤🖤
Special mentions to our partners-in-grime, the RIOT Garden crew - you put together an awesome lineup and held a fantastic space... totally smashed it, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with you all 🧷🖤🧷
Thanks again to the punk family for inviting us to be a part of it, and we look forward to working together again soon!l
And last but not least...
Massive love and respect to Bristol Skum Collective for kicking it off all those years ago - we hope you're proud of the beautiful bastard beast you spawned 😉🖤😘
UP THE PUNKS!!
