Punk Rock Bowling, the multi-day music festival/pilsner ‘n’ pins competition now in its 14th year, has announced the next batch of participating acts for the May 25-28 extravaganza, to be held downtown once again. Among the names released: our own Holding On To Sound, whose The Sea made CityLife’s best local albums list last year.

HOTS join acts like venerable post-hardcore act Hot Water Music, venerable pre-hardcore band Youth of Today, punk supergroup Dead Ending, iconic ska outfit Hepcat and others in joining the Punk Rock Bowling roster. Pennywise, Rancid, NOFX, The Adicts and the original Briefs were the first five acts announced last month. On Feb. 24, the daily schedule comes out — and hopefully the rest of the performance roster. We’re crossing our fingers other Vegas acts might find themselves on official PRB stages that weekend, despite the festival’s concentration on national promotion.

Three-day passes at $100 go on sale Feb. 24, and single-day passes at $40 will be available for purchase on March 5. Festival shows are all-ages. Here’s the full list of today’s revealed participants (check the fest’s website for more info): Sham 69, Hepcat, Hot Water Music, Youth of Today, Dead Ending, Street Dogs, Real McKenzies, Old Man Markley, The Beltones, Far From Finished, Toys That Kill, American Heist, The Bots, The Dips, American Werewolves.
