Road To Ruin Fest April 2012 Philadelphia


Recommended Posts

Hey we are doing another one of these but its going to be much larger. Its the weekend of April 20th-22nd. I think the 19th we will also be doing a mini film fest, showing two films that highlight the DIY culture of both punk and wrestling. More info for everything coming VERY shortly. Here is the update we sent out to the world last night:

Yo I got really excited so here is the first line up ..update. We'll probably add about 20 more bands plus the actual wrestling card in the next few weeks. We'll announce tickets and venues probably around January. But if you are a real rocker you probably know where the wrestling show will be.

Just working the rest of the stuff out with them. We'll have a website ready sometime this weekend, there is also a message board if you dare to enter the void. You'll probably see a schedule in March, and the rest of the odds and ends come together.

Adding wrestling this year I think was really crucial as I am a life long wrestling fan. It made sense. This might be a new thing to a lot of people but its really fun and cool if you go in with an open mind. There WILL BE an Evil Weevil Championship belt that will go along with the wrestling.

We didn't want to book just another "fest". This will 100% be all ages, and very affordable for a punx budget. We pulled out all the stops. So sit back and relax we are gonna have a fun Spring.

Thanks to everyone who has helped us out so far Maven & DJ CZW, Jamie R5, Joe HXC, Tony Godino and Philip Leone.

Added Creepoid, The Holy Mess, and Nuclear Santa Claust. We'll be adding a ton more over the next few months. We found a gallery that is letting us do a pop up shop the week of the fest as well as show a few docs, and a few shows under the umbrella of Road To Ruin. Heck of a week.
