Our Values

We believe and value that all artists, attendees, staff, and volunteers of Desert Rat Punk Festival deserve a safe, inclusive, and unforgettable experience.  We are so grateful for the punk rock family and those who show up with originality, courage and willingness to push boundaries while staying true to themselves and consistently work to create a festival environment where all identities are welcomed and respected.  

We support and equitably contribute to a culture where collaboration is celebrated, not competed against.  It is our vision for the Desert Rat Punk Festival platform to unite, strengthen and inspire connection, and celebrate our mutual love of music and home in the punk rock community.
