Scarborough Punk Festival is all about community, volume and sweat-on-the-walls commitment. Returning in 2026, the festival brings together punk bands old and new for a weekend that prioritises energy over polish. Expect fast sets, packed rooms and a crowd that treats the pit as a shared responsibility rather than a spectacle.

The seaside location adds a slightly surreal edge, but once the bands hit, it’s pure DIY spirit. If you like your festivals loud, unapologetic and built around scene loyalty rather than hype, Scarborough Punk Festival delivers exactly that.Info: scarboroughpunkfestival.co.uk</a
