Front A Punk Super Group When Punk Rock Karaoke Hits San Antonio, TX
Punk Rock Karaoke

When Punk Rock Karaoke lands at The Rock Box on Friday, December 5, 2025, it won’t be a typical live show. The touring collective—featuring members from storied punk outfits like Bad Religion, The Adolescents, and Social Distortion—lets the audience take the mic. Fans pick from a catalog of classics and front the band themselves, backed by musicians who’ve been part of punk’s history for decades (Original Punk Rock Karaoke).

The group has been refining this format since the mid-’90s, long before karaoke bars became commonplace. The San Antonio date gives locals a rare chance to sing the songs that shaped underground rock—without a pre-planned setlist.

The Original Punk Rock Karaoke
Punk Rock Karaoke! The original deal since 1996. We play....YOU sing! Pick a song, we give you the lyrics. We call your name and voila! you are the singer in a punk rock band backed by the finest hand picked side men. www.originalpunkrockkaraoke.com

Bay Area punks Get Dead join the night’s lineup. Known for their gruff vocal harmonies and folk-punk energy, they’ve built a following through tours with NOFX and Lagwagon, and releases on Fat Wreck Chords. Their presence adds a distinct edge to the evening, balancing audience-driven chaos with a tight, high-energy opening set.

Whether you’re there to take the stage or just watch, the night promises a break from the traditional performer/audience divide—something that still feels unusual in the current touring landscape.
