The Punk Rock Museum is the world’s most comprehensive attraction dedicated to the history of the music, culture, and absurdity of punk rock. Located in Las Vegas, it houses artifacts and memorabilia from across the world’s punk scene—such as handwritten lyrics, instruments, clothing, photos, flyers, and artwork.
Encompassing 12,000 square feet at 1422 Western Ave, between the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown, the museum celebrates the genre’s substantial cultural impact over the last half-century. This year’s September tour guides are Chris DeMakes (Less Than Jake), Ben Weasel (Screeching Weasel), Paul Roessler (The Screamers/24 Grave), Laura Jane Grace (Against Me!) and Nick Oliveri (QOTSA/Dwarves/B’last/Kyuss).

September 24th: Soliders of Destruction vinyl record release show at The Punk Rock Museum!
Soldiers of Destruction released ‘Apostasy in Black’ on November 5th, 2025. Now, for the first time, the album will be available on vinyl on September 24th through The Punk Rock Museum’s Vinyl Threat. The release will be a limited pressing, making it a highly exclusive edition for fans and collectors.
Originally formed in London in 1981 and now based in Las Vegas, Soldiers of Destruction are a hardcore punk band known for their aggressive sound and raw, uncompromising energy. During their early years, the band shared stages with legendary punk acts including The Exploited, GBH, UK Subs, and Peter and the Test Tube Babies.
Led by punk veteran Morat, alongside John Feeney, Chris ‘Cru’ Chorba, and David Thomson, ‘Apostasy in Blackbrings’ the band’s classic hardcore punk spirit into the present. The hard-hitting album combines the band’s raw foundation with newer elements and influences, delivering a record that connects their early history with their current sound.
September Screenings of ’40 Years of Fuckin’ Up’ at The Punk Rock Museum!
’40 Years of Fuckin’ Up’ is ‘Spinal Tap’, but real. It’s a film about the infamous, fairly un-famous, and beloved punk rock band NOFX. This is the unbelievable story about how a group of untalented drug-addled teenage punks somehow became the most successful independent band in history — and they did it haphazardly, entirely on their own.
Join us every Friday in August for screenings of ’40 Years of Fuckin’ Up’ at the museum. Doors open at 7:00 pm, and the screening begins at 7:30 pm. Anyone who purchases a ticket to the screening will receive 25% off general admission to the museum at the door. Film tickets are available here!
Artifact of the month: Outfit worn by Captain Sensible of The Damned!
The outfit is a distinctive piece of stagewear worn by Captain Sensible, guitarist and founding member of The Damned, one of the most influential bands to emerge from the first wave of British punk. Formed in London in 1976, The Damned was among the first UK punk bands to release a single, ‘New Rose’, and went on to become known for their fast, chaotic sound and theatrical image.
The outfit, featuring a pink-and-black striped sweater, red beret and zebra-patterned trousers, perfectly captures Sensible’s flamboyant personality and the irreverent style that became part of The Damned’s visual identity.
