The Festival

Build Bridges, Not Borders.

Pouzza del Carmen is a punk rock festival that takes place on the beaches, rooftops and in the local bars of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Whether it's fiddling with cocktail umbrellas as your favourite punk rock singer plays an intimate poolside acoustic set, or raging on the beach as the sun sets over the Riviera Maya to the soundtrack of your youth, Pouzza del Carmen is the punk rock vacation you didn't know you needed.

Rooted in the international punk community, the festival brings together favourites from the classic Pouzza lineup alongside punk bands from Mexico and around the world. At its heart, it's a chance for the Canadian and Mexican underground scenes to come together, share and learn from each other. It's three days of music, art and culture that might introduce you to something new, with enough punk rock to always feel like home.

A full pass includes a hotel stay, breakfast, rooftop and poolside shows, a three-day pass to the main festival grounds with two stages of international punk, ska and cumbia, a buffet lunch, access to late-night club shows and much more. Or, choose your own adventure!

We're bringing people from around the world together to dance, drink and scream along. A reminder that even if we come from different places, we still sing the same songs.

See ya in the pit. Don't forget the sunscreen.

Since 2011, Pouzza Fest has become one of North America's best-known independent punk festivals — more than 150 bands each year across walkable venues in downtown Montreal.
