PGS Launches THE PUNK ROCK Festival to Celebrate Upcoming Films

In anticipation of the release of two highly anticipated punk films, PGS, one of Japan's largest official merchandise stores, has unveiled a special event called "THE PUNK ROCK." This festival will gather punk rock memorabilia, featuring iconic items from legendary bands like the Sex Pistols and others that defined the genre.

Celebrating Punk Music and Culture

2026 will herald the release of two significant films that delve into the history of punk music: I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol, focused on Sex Pistols' founding member Glen Matlock, is set to hit theaters on October 2nd. Not long after on October 23rd, CBGB: The Birthplace of Punk will spotlight the legendary New York venue that housed some of the greatest punk acts of all time. These films aim to transport audiences back to the revolutionary days of the 1970s, changing not only music but also fashion, art, and lifestyle across generations.

PGS's festival will include both online and in-store exclusive punk rock merchandise, allowing fans to celebrate punk's enduring spirit through clothing, accessories, and more. Official merchandise will not only be available online but also at the theaters where the films are screened, ensuring fans can experience the full vibe of punk culture.

Limited Edition Merchandise

As part of the festival, PGS has designed limited edition T-shirts featuring art from the upcoming film I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol. Each design will be limited to just 50 pieces. The first design showcases the film's title and Sex Pistols logo in vivid yellow on a black shirt, while the second features an iconic live performance image on a vintage charcoal-colored T-shirt. Each shirt retails for 4,500 yen and will be available starting October 2nd.

These collectibles not only serve as a celebration of punk's rich history but also as a nod to today's fans who wish to connect with their musical roots. The festival aims to engage a broad audience, from those who lived through the punk era to new fans discovering its influence for the first time.

The Punk Movement Endures

The transatlantic punk movement ignited by the Sex Pistols in London and the legendary acts at CBGB in New York continues to resonate with audiences today. PGS's THE PUNK ROCK festival not only pays tribute to this powerful cultural phenomenon but also encourages self-expression through punk fashion.

While online sales are set to kick off on October 2nd, fans attending the screenings will have the opportunity to purchase related merchandise at the respective theaters: Shinjuku Musashinokan for I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol and Cinema Toto Shinjuku for CBGB: The Birthplace of Punk. This initiative not only merges film and music but also provides a tangible link to the punk ethos in a modern context.

PGS has long been dedicated to celebrating the universality of entertainment through its vast array of merchandise. With over 20 years in the business, the company continues to connect fans to their favorite artists, musicians, and cultural icons. Whether through limited edition apparel or their extensive catalog of official merchandise, PGS ensures that punk remains vibrantly alive.
