Description was written before the event

In 1976, punk broke through in England - and this year marks exactly 50 years since then. Arnhem Punk Fest celebrates that milestone with bands from the genre's early days: English, Dutch, and of course Arnhem acts.

U.K. Subs (1976) - this is their only exclusive performance in the Netherlands.

About: U.K. Subs

U.K. Subs are an English punk band formed in London in 1976. Fronted by vocalist Charlie Harper, they were a fixture of the British punk and early street punk scenes, and kept releasing records and touring well into the 21st century. Their debut album "Another Kind of Blues" (1979) remains a genre touchstone.
