People, we have decided to take a break from the festival next summer. Yes we know, we are old and tired.
But keep your eyes peeled for Punk Illegal gigs in Göteborg in 2026. We are looking for a suitable venue to organise that. Give us your best tips in and around Göteborg! We need a place that can take around 300 people, preferably with a stage. We are not looking for commercial bars/venues.

People, we cannot even start to express our gratitude to you all for a fantastic weekend! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of you! Regardless if you came as a visitor, volunteer, band, artist or distro, you have all contributed to the work that No one is illegal is doing for hidden refugees here in Sweden. We are so happy about that and will get back to you when we know how much we can give to them. Thank you for showing up, for being friendly and kind to one another and for making this year's festival such a success!
Sorry we didnt manage to capture all bands!

Our last artist to present is Stina Barbrosdotter. Unfortunately, Stina will not be attending the festival, but she has sent some prints that will be on sale as a benefit for Palestine. Thank you for that, Stina!

Cease fire now! Free Palestine!

“My name is Stina, and I am Barbro’s daughter. That’s why I create under the name S.Barbrosdotter. My prints will be available for sale at Punk Illegal this weekend, and all proceeds will go to Gaza. It feels incredibly meaningful to contribute with support art for Palestinagrupperna.

The prints are A3 size and cost a minimum of 150 SEK, but all the money goes directly to our fellow human beings in Palestine. So please Swish as much as you’re able to.”

Info from the medical team:

We will be on location during the entire festival to help out with minor injuries/cases but we will not perform any medical treatment on site. We are far away from the nearest ER/medical facility so we strongly advise you to inform your closest friends and/or the organizers of the festival if you have any medical condition that could require treatment or attention. Make sure to bring any medication you might need during the festival. If you need to get in contact with the medic team, call: 0046762104143

Just 6 days left now and we are carefully optimistic about the weather. Here are some photos of the area and some useful information. Please visit punkillegal.com for more info and tickets!

The campsite opens on Friday at 12 and closes at 15 on Sunday. Bring Swedish cash or use Swish (Swedish mobile pay). No credit cards can be used. There is no ATM close by, so make sure to get money out beforehand!

To simplify food and beverage sales, there will be a ticket system. You can purchase these tickets at the info point by the entrance.

Please use the right recycling bins for glass, plastic, cans, cardboard, and paper! Please throw cigarette stumps and snus in the provided glass jars!

There is a camp site free of charge, both for tents, cars and trucks. Park in the designated areas and keep fire corridors free!

Please, do not bbq or cook on grills/open fires, since there is a risk of fire in the woods and the place is surrounded by wooden houses.

There will be both outhouses and portapotties on the camp site area and outside the barn.

No tolerance for violence, racism, sexism, or homophobia! Have fun and be kind to each other!
