New Port Richey rocks—seriously. For proof look no further than Monufest.

Going down once again at the Ordinance One venue in the heart of downtown, the afternoon festival is a full day of hardcore and punk curated by hometown label Ashtray Monument.

“Monufest has always been more than just a fest—it’s a gathering of weirdos, lifers, and loudmouths who live for this stuff. This year promises the same grit and guts with fresh faces and long-missed legends,” the imprint wrote in a press release. “Come for the music, stay for the chaos…”

The third anniversary lineup includes heavy hitters from Gainesville (Thunderclap, Chimes, I’ll Star), plus Bay area favorites like Pohgoh, Meatwound, The Path of Increased Indifference—and a reunion from Tampa punk band Clairmel. Also making the trip from the west coast is Eastern Bleeds, a noisy indie/-rock band from Los Angeles featuring members of The Jealous Sound, Racquet Club, O Zorn!, The Kite Eating Tree, Who Rides The Tiger, Coco B’s and Black Swan Runners.

Tickets to Monufest 2025 happening at Ordinance One in New Port Richey on Saturday, April 12 are still available and start at $20.
