WONKFEST 2022 – we were back
Yes, that’s right – 2022 sees Wonkfest back and better than ever – still at The Dome, and still with its legendary buffet!
The 2022 installment saw us going back to our roots, focusing on friendship, happiness, and fun.
We upped the buffet, upping the sweets, upping the live screen print, upping the craziness, upping all the trimmings. It was about every party you went to and wished you’d had a snog on the cricket square. This is about every party you went to and came home with a load of new mates.
DATE: SATURDAY, JULY 30th.
VENUE: The Dome, Tufnell Park, 2a Dartmouth Park Hill, NW5 1HL London, United Kingdom
PRE WONKFEST GIG – there’s also a pre-fest party in South London the day before – Fri 29th July, at the New Cross Inn. FB Event here.

WONKFEST 8 – 2021 CANCELLED
Morning everyone. Ok so here’s the bad news, I gotta pull this years Wonkfest. I’m really really sorry. As you know, Wonkfest is a representation of Wonk Unit’s year, the bands we meet on our travels. Obviously a lot of our travels have been cancelled so meeting bands and arranging the line up hasn’t happened as in the past. About a quarter of our planned line up were due to be in Europe for festival season, not anymore. Everyone is in the same boat with their tours being cancelled. I’m so sorry folks. Tickets will be valid at next years Wonkfest or refunds available from Seetickets. I you have any questions don’t hesitate to message. Alex xxx

WONKFEST 7 – Viva la Revolution!
The 2019 Wonkfest was a BLAST! Thanks to everyone who played and who came and made it special!
IT’S WONKFEST, it’s the funniest, craziest day in the punk rock calendar. The best in music, the best atmosphere, the best in people.
Am so happy to announce 2 of the most influential artists in punk rock history. Duncan Redmonds’s Guns and Wankers and the incredible songwriter Mr Frankie Stubbs himself.
I always wanted this to be my “history” line up and it’s turning out to be that. The bands and people that help shape my life.
The line up is complete but we won’t be dropping bombs on you ever week. It’s 6 months till July 27th.
We’ve got UK exclusives, we’ve got secret acts (to avoid booking agent red tape) we’ve got the regular Wonk family royalty whose absence would be a sin. We’ve got new bands, we’ve got buffet, T shirt screening, badge making, BBQ, all included in the price of a ticket.
We’ll be collecting again for the local charity most in need of donations. In recent years Hestia (a women’s refuge charity).
Please grab advance tickets ASAP. It really does help with the financial worry of staging an event like Wonkfest.
Thanks darlings! Love you all. Maybe this year we can escape without broken bones haha (that’ll be a first eh)

Did we mention food? Hell yeah!!! This Wonkfest we’ll be upping the ante and doubling the deeeeeelicious!!! 2 BBQ’s this time, one dedicated exclusively to your veggie/vegan cravings! We’ll be bringing the buffet downstairs to the courtyard too, leaving the upstairs space for the lovely Leon and his “live” screen print.
You know how it works by now, bring something for the buffet and foodbank (Womens sanitary products again please) and we’ll supply the good time Kentucky bbq grilling, the screenprint and the music!!
