Punk in the Park Cancels All 2026 Dates After Backlash Over Promoter’s Trump Donation

The decision follows artist withdrawals after the promoter’s Trump donation.

Overview

  • All ticket holders will receive full refunds automatically at the original point of purchase within a week.
  • The three planned 2026 stops — Pittsburgh, Orlando, and Vallejo — are canceled.
  • Organizers pointed to the climate created by criticism of Brew Ha Ha owner Cameron Collins’s 2024 donation to Donald Trump.
  • Artist defections had mounted in recent weeks, with the Adicts dropping off the bill just hours before the announcement.
  • Dead Kennedys had planned to honor Pittsburgh and Vallejo dates despite rejecting future bookings, a stance criticized by Jello Biafra, but those shows are now off as organizers describe the halt as a pause to regroup.
