El Sancho
Waikoloa’s DIY punk trio hammers out tight, catchy three-chord anthems that swing from sharp political jabs to self-aware humor. Their 2023 LP Heads Up! set the pace, and the follow-up Roll Right Over You drops summer 2025—expect a sneak peek of brand-new songs and if you're lucky, an appearance by their Misfits tribute alter-egos El Misfits!
The Alcohaoles
Back after a long absence, this Big Island party-punk crew storms the stage with rapid drums, crunchy riffs, and tongue-in-cheek tales of late-night misadventures and fascist shoes. First show back—don’t miss it.
Craiceailte (pronounced “Crack-kay-all-cha”)
Billed as “Hawaiʻi’s craziest Celtic band,” Craiceailte mixes Irish folk melodies with punk-level energy—equal parts pub sing-along and island rowdiness. (Fittingly, craiceailte is Irish for “crazy.”) Count on rousing originals and Celtic-punk favorites built for fist-pumping unity.
Why go?
Two high-energy punk bands, the Big Island’s “craziest” Celtic crew, spicy fried chicken, and zero cover charge—all under the Kona stars. Catch El Sancho’s unreleased material, welcome The Alcohaoles’ reunion, and sing yourself hoarse with Craiceailte. Show up early, grab a basket of hot chicken, and let the night rip.
