Punk Illegal

30/09/2026

As you know, Punk illegal normally gives profits to the No one is illegal network. We feel that it is important, after the horrific events at the Totalitär gig in Malmö last Saturday, to support friends and members of the international punk family who are still detained or severely injured. We urge other organisers to do the same.

In solidarity with people arrested and hurt by security forces and police after the Totalitär show in Malmö, Saturday 26th of September.

The police arrested several people, two needed treatment in a hospital.

Friends and friends of friends are organized to gather information and to get an overview of the situation.

The funds collected will go directly to those affected to cover costs for legal assistance, accommodation, lost income and travels home.

Punk is solidarity.

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!

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.”
