MANIC RELAPSE FEST is returning to Oakland, CA this year with its 5th incarnation, which looks like it is going to be just completely fucking BONKERS! After the first and second round of announcements, we’re stoked to bring you the third and final one – AKA the FULL FEST LINEUP! And if you take a close look at this madness it won’t take you long to realize one simple thing about this fest: that when it comes to DIY punk, deathrock, hardcore punk, post-punk, crust, d-beat and all things punk, Manic Relapse has become hands down the absolute fucking Mecca for all the world class fun and raging punk stuff!

Manic Relapse is a DIY fest organized yearly in Oakland, done by punks for punks, and is completely DIY and volunteer-based, with no exterior support other than from the local Oakland punk scene. The fest takes place over the course of 3-4 days in various Oakland-based DIY spaces, record stores, punk houses, and larger live venues, and has been attracting thousands of people (and growing fast) year over year. Shows are spread out across the city, starting with matinee shows and moving throughout the day and evening to gradually bigger events, which culminate with the headliner events at the Oakland Metro Opera House. VOL. V will take place on April 28, 29, 30 2017 in Oakland CA.
