Break Free Fest 2025!

June 14 - 15, 2025

Philadelphia, PA

Break Free Fest is more than just a music festival-it's a space of resistance, empowerment, and celebration for POC voices in hardcore, punk, and beyond.

For years, we've connected to build a community rooted in radical inclusivity, pushing back against oppression in the music scene, and amplifying the artists and fans who deserve to be heard.

This year, we need your help to keep Break Free Fest alive and thriving for this year's fest! Organizing an independent, community-centered festival takes resources- venue costs, artist support, accessibility needs, and more.

Every dollar raised goes directly into making this fest as powerful and impactful as ever. And, portions of this will be donated at the event to organizations and aid dear to our hearts and shared communities.

By donating, you're not just funding a fest

you're fueling a movement. You're ensuring that Black and Brown punks have a space that's ours, that's safe, and that's LOUD.
