The festival, held at the Sala 1 d’Octubre, has already confirmed five acts for its anniversary edition. The organization indicates that the lineup is nearly complete, with a few additional surprises yet to be announced.
The event, founded in the mid-1990s by a group of local youths, emerged during the punk scene's boom in Ponent. This year features Naste Borraste, a Biscayan band with a 43-year career, who will perform one of their final comeback/farewell tour concerts in Ponts.
“"A kick from the bottom of the soul"
Other notable bands on the bill include Piorreah, a Barcelona punk icon, and Arsenal (ARS3N5L) from Bellpuig, who are releasing new material after 35 years. Also performing are Bastards, a punkanroll group, and Rat-Zinger, a Bilbao band known for their hard-hitting lyrics.
Historically, Ponts, along with Balaguer, was a focal point for the punk scene in Lleida during the nineties, fostering an active musical and countercultural movement in the capital of Noguera.
