With Punk 50, AB celebrates fifty years of chaos, freedom, and pure expression. On Saturday, March 14, we honor the rich past, the vibrant present, and the future of punk in Belgium with 5 hard-hitting concerts, the book presentation of Bloody Belgium. The Punk Explosion in Belgium 1976-1979, and a micro-label punk market.

Unique single, only available at AB on March 14
The tracks “No Work” and “Borderline” were recorded in December 2025 at Tooth Mountain Studio and are now released for the first time as a single.
Also included in this collector: three covers of The Kids by bands who share the AB stage with them. Hetze delivers a furious version of “Fascist Cops,” Colère strikes hard on “Do You Love The Nazis,” and Kotskat lands from an unknown universe with a hilarious retake of “For The Fret.”
This 7” is limited to only 300 copies and will be sold exclusively on March 14 at AB at the Pang Pang Records stand.

Vinyl market starts at 16:00 with these labels:
Stadskanker / Belly Button Records / Ronny Rex / Heimlich Manouvres / 72 Records / Wild Goose Records / Zwendel / Rockerill Records / Pang Pang Records

Book presentation of Bloody Belgium:
The Punk Explosion in Belgium 1976-1979, the ultimate reference work on the early years of Belgian punk. Compiler Ronny Wynants and author Joeri Cardon spent years interviewing people involved in this turbulent period. After a first edition that sold out quickly, they will present the new edition on March 14, with a Q&A and additional speakers on the impact of Belgian punk.
