It has always been a problem for true informations of the entire program and the participants of some festivals, not only for journalists, so even more audiences, and when the festivals are 3-4-5 days, there are a really problems depending on the number of stages. Many organisers of the festivals were developed in different ways, a moving clearly visible basis as tv screenplays and tv monitors in modern production, or in marketing, a lot of programme flayers (it cost too much depending of number of pages), and in recent times own applications that always lacks something because someone is complaining, so it is somehow to best thing is schedule of the bands for a couple of months earlier, and it’s all here. None of the above ever happened in the case of our friends at Punk Rock Holiday, but when I remember some other music festivals, honestly…
In particular, the Punk Rock Holiday Festival 2.5 will be from 04.08. 2025. to 08.08.2025. Traditionally maintained on the rivers Tolminka and Soča, in the beautiful municipality of Tolmin, in Slovenia, and for me, the real surprise is how much the day for warming, or zero day increasingly gained in importance. Like previous years, 2 stages, beach and main stage, and honor to open beach stage PRH 2.5, on Monday 4/8/2025. at 12:30 will have No Guidance, 13:20 Curbrigen, 14:10 Hike the Peak, 15:00 Sidewalk Surfers, 15.50 Heathcliff, 16:40 Darko and 17.40 Public Serpents. Just a small break where visitors have time for a minimum rest, and in fact for express transition to the main stage that open at 18:45 our friends from the band Chaser, we will see if video kill the radio stars at 19:45 p.m. In 20:50 will perform Codefendants, from 22:10 certainly the most attractive performance of evening with the Baboon Show from Sweden and at the end of 23:30 long-awaited Refused. On Tuesday 5.8.2025. on Beach Stage from 12:40 will play Queens of Everything, 13:30 Slackrr, 14:20 NOFNOG, 15:10 Wasei, 16:00 Menbland, 16:50 The Iron Roses 17:50 The Anti-Queens. The band that will open Tuesday at the Main Stage from 18.45, Makewar, 19:45 GOB, then Ignite, from 22:00, from the band Authority Zero, and at the end for 23:30 the performance of the Swedish band Millencollin, which will perform in Tolmin after a long time. Wednesday is the day when it was considered a lot in summarizing the results, but a lot has yet to be seen. 6. 8.2025. Beach Stage will open Kennybal Smith, 13:30 Coral Springs, 14:20 Corbillard, 15:10 Jawless, 16:00 One Hidden Frame, 16:50 Wolfpack, 17:50 Straightline. The main stage at 18:45 open the English Stool Preachers, from 19:45, will climb the Austrian Turbobier, from 20.50 Zeke, 22:10 Time reserved for our friends from the band Agnostic Front from New York, and the California’s Zebrahead will perform from 23:30. On Thursday 7.8.2025 at the beach stage, it will open from 12:30 Pennysurfers, from 13:30 7 Dials Mistery, from 14:20 Hollly Would Surrender, from 15.10 CF 98, 16.00 Doc Rotten, 16:50 Rat Boy, and from 17:50 beach stage will close Battery. As for the main stage, the same evening of the 18:45 open Fuzigish, 19:45 Swedish band Misconduct, 20:10 Madball from New York, and as a headlining band on Thursday will occur from 23:30 Frank Turner & Sleeping Souls. And finally, on Friday, the very last day of the festival, 8.8.2025., at beach stage will play from 13:30 The Mor (R) ons, 14:20 Snackwolf, 15:10 Skin of Tears, 16:00 Judo Chop, 16:50 The Headlines,, 17:50 Urethane, while the Mainstage PRH 2.5 will close from 18:45 The Last Gang, 20:50, Jaya The Cat, and the real finish of this year’s PRH 2.5 will follow the legendary Norwegian band Turbonegro. I believe that although the festival has long been sold out, that some tickets must have individual beach stage bands, but you can find complete informations on this year’s 2.5 edition at www.punkrockholiday.com, as well as on their social media. See you in Tolmin!
