From September 2 to September 5, 2022, the Byline Festival brought together a wide variety of punk musicians. Pussy Riot, Matt Bianco, Badly Drawn Boy, The Feeling, The Blow Monkeys, The Vapors, Drew Sycamore, Lowkey, Shining, and Dramarama were some of the best performers.
Pussy Riot, known for their feminist activism and punk rock, delivered a high-octane show. The British band Matt Bianco, which is well-known for its jazz, Latin, and R&B elements, also contributed a distinctive feel to the festival. British rapper Lowkey presented his politically charged rhymes to the stage, and New Jersey's Dramarama provided some nostalgia with their punk rock.
The festival's performers each contributed their own distinctive flair, showing the variety found in the punk genre. Both seasoned and emerging musicians could display their talent and engage with a dedicated audience at the Byline Festival.
