The Facebook page for it lists only the dates, the event’s official website hasn’t been updated since last year, and as this post goes up Ticketmaster has no listing for the 2013 edition.
But as you can see, there’s already a flier circulating online announcing the sixth annual Musink Tattoo Convention and Music Festival, slated for March 8-10 at its regular location, the OC Fair & Event Center.
Unlike in past years, when music attractions have been divided between old-school stalwarts and metal upstarts, this time it’s virtually wall-to-wall punk.
In case you have trouble reading: Bad Religion, whose 16th album True North drops Jan. 22, tops the bill for opening night, with support from the Vandals and Guttermouth. The reunited Pennywise will follow up two sold-out Hollywood Palladium shows this month with an appearance at Musink’s second night, along with Lagwagon and T.S.O.L. And psychobilly standout Reverend Horton Heat will close out the event, with warm-up sets from Lucero, the Headcat (featuring Lemmy from Motörhead) and Social Distortion guitarist Jonny Two Bags.
Among this year’s featured tattoo artists will be Jack Rudy, Robert Atkinson, Small Paul, Tomas Garcia, Roman Abrigo, Bob Tyrrell, Robert Hernandez, Franco Vescovi and dozens more.
Update: Tickets go on sale Friday, Jan. 11, at 10 a.m. Prices are the same as last year: $25 per day, $50 for a three-day pass and $75 for VIP access per day, $150 for a full-weekend VIP pass.
