Concert Review: No Values Festival featuring The Misfits, Bad Religion, Sublime & More!

I arrived at 9am, got my preferred parking, got my Rad coffee, my merch, put it back in my car, got in line and waited less than 10 minutes to get in when the gates opened at 11am. Was able to see everyone on my list! Such a good time and every band had such good energy! Even when I left it took me less than 20 minutes to get out and towards the freeway. I hope they do it again next year. 🖤

I was waiting in that line to get in and decided F THIS. I parked in some random neighborhood. Easy exit too..

4 hours waiting to get in, when we finally found the parking attendants they literally laughed in our face and said "go fend for your self in that parking lot." Then another 3 hours to leave! You're right that was the nastiest parking at any festival ever. Positives: The bands went on exactly on time with military precision and sounded amazing! The food, albeit really expensive was pretty damn good. I'm from NY always wanted to go to an LA punk show and hang out with LA punks, this kinda satisfied that bucket list. It was refreshing the next day, went to Bakersfield to see Sham69 in a shitty fire hazard hell hole, just the way I like it :)

The Inland Invasion about 20 years ago was the first HUGE outdoor punk festival in California. It was in San Bernardino at the site of the US Festival and 60,000 came out to see the Sex Pistols, Damned, Buzzcocks, Bad Religon, X, GBH, Distillers, Adolescents, TSOL, and a bunch of the mall punk bands popular at the time. I bailed after four hours cuz I couldn't take the heat.

I went was inside at 12:15, left during the misfits, was home in 5 minutes, yeah I live that close. I had a great time with my cousin and her husband.

I've seen a few festivals with high numbers of bands that were mainly legacy punk bands. It's Not Dead Fest, Surf City Blitz, Back To The Beach Fest, Punk In The Park, Punk In Drublic, Gnarlytown, Sabroso, etc. They were pretty common for a while in the 2010's from SGE. This was the biggest of these more recent attempts with the most star power, but the trend already existed on a smaller scale.

Your experience was pretty much the same as mine. It was a long wait to get in, so long that I had to water the bushes on the side of the exit ramp. I wasn't the only one doing it, either! My wife and I arrived in time to see some Vandals, Dead Milkmen (finally saw them!), The Damned, Sublime, The Exploited, and others. I've seen Bad Religion, Exploited, and Social D. a few times through the years, so decisions had to be made. I had to see Exploited again, even though I'd just seen them play last year. Been a fan of theirs for over thirty years. Actually, that applies to most of the bands I saw. Like you, I never thought I'd see The Misfits play with Glenn Danzig, and I was so jealous of my brother. He saw them last year at the Phoenix, AZ, gig that was 107 degrees when they went on. He got up front this time with my 17 year old niece who's a big fan (thanks to me and Dad) and almost got crushed. They got out of there okay and loved the show. Me? I danced in the back with the wife and then chilled in the bleachers. Sound was actually great back there, imo. I wonder if we'll get a No Values 2 next year? I hope Descendents headline!

Honestly if you guys missed the eqrly bands that was your fault. I showed up at 830am and got parking withing 5 minutes. I left after the misfits and it only took about 15 minutes to make it out

Thanks but the footage was grainy

Nah this wasn’t the first one m, they did this before with almost the same line up, it was in Devore

LAME !!$$$$$$

Misfits are so bad
