Punk Rock 'chella: No Values concert 2024

WARNING: Absolute filth, garbage, this should be illegal! This seems to be some band Tees OL, Tee Sol, singing some kind of, can't understand a word the fat blond man (political candidate, father, and author Jack Grisham) is saying about being in high school in the Southbay looking for love, but look at that crowd kept far from the stage for only $200 a ticket. ;)
Our dream has finally come true. See, I told you if we kept praying and spiking our hair.
Mother, the original Misfits are back to get everyone to sing along (Concert Archives.org)

Oh, hells yeah, I'll be there wearing a sexy outfit!
The Warped Tour is back at the Pomona Fairplex -- only now it's the once in a lifetime "NO VALUES" concert (so named after an old Black Flag song).

It's a Goldenvoice production (Coachella, Stagecoach, etc.), conveniently located in Los Angeles County, out by the fairgrounds, right next to Orange County, just off of the largest freeway in the country (the Interstate 10). It close enough for everyone in the IE and San Berdoo, too. The rest of the world is out of luck.

Imagine a show so big that it reunites the original Misfits (not just Danzig), Social Distortion. Iggy Pop (he's still among the living?), Bad Religion, Sublime [no Rome], FEAR [w/ Lee Ving], The Dillinger Escape Plan, Power Trip, The Damned, Suicidal Tendencies, The Vandals, Black Flag, L7, TSOL, [what no Germs or Circle Jerks?], Steve Ignorant of Crass, The Jesus Lizard, The Exploited, The Dead Milkmen, The Adicts, Agent Orange, Adolescents, Cro-Mags...

Hillbillies can't play piano! Where would they practice, the trailer park?
Nu-metal gets carried away with mega-fest in Vegas heat: SOAD, Korn...

Not just punk but ska and other genres, too. The lineup continues with Fishbone, The Aquabats, The Selecter, The Untouchables, The Skeletones, [what, no Save Ferris?], Ceremony, Fidlar, Hepcat, Joyce Manor, MS Paint, Scowl, Shattered Faith, Soul Glo, The Bronx, The Dead, The Lawrence Arms, The Mourning Noise, Turnstile, Viagra Boys [or is that the Cialis Girls?], and a bunch of other vital bands from way back when.

Anyone who thought going to Las Vegas to see the Sick New World Fest has got to think this is probably a good idea, too. It's bound not to have all the technical issues that event suffered from. And best of all the Dead Kennedy's original singer, Jello Biafra, will have a DJ set [of all Alternative Tentacles bands?] So expect some snark but precious little "California Uber Alles." It's not cheap, so plan ahead. More

The name of the show, we would guess, comes from an old Black Flag song:
