In April 2023 Las Vegas welcomed visitors to celebrate the history of punk rock and showcase the best of the anti-establishment movement at the Punk Rock Museum.
Defined by its non-compliant fashion, music and culture, the genre has pushed the boundaries of society and the Punk Rock Museum will show curious fans just how it was done.
The museum’s artefacts range from the pinned and patched leather jacket of Seb Grey, founder of the hardcore band Iron Cross, to Debbie Harry’s iconic ‘Vultures’ t-shirt and the Alex Pardee Mask from The Used Lies for the Liars tour.
Not only the museum opened in March but its associated bar, tattoo parlour, punk shop and wedding chapel will also open, allowing its visitors to completely embrace their punk rock attitude.
