The Punkadeka Festival, an independent and self-funded event organized by a punk fanzine, was scheduled for September 2026 at the Circolo Magnolia in Milan, Italy. The lineup included the Californian band MXPX, making their first Italian appearance in over a decade, alongside Grade2 and several other performers.

Following the event, attendees and observers highlighted the festival’s emphasis on community and its DIY model. The festival was noted for its accessibility, specifically through the provision of free water dispensers to avoid the commercialized systems common at larger events. Performers such as Mike Herrera of MXPX expressed gratitude to the audience, and the event was praised for maintaining a focus on music and social connection over monetization.
