The ultimate punk rock events platform, connecting fans, bands, and venues across America with cutting-edge technology and a cyberpunk aesthetic.
Created by Add Interactive Studio
Founded by Jeffrey Hunt
With over 25 years in the live entertainment production industry, Jeffrey Hunt has built shows across America, working behind the scenes to bring unforgettable experiences to life. From major tours to intimate club shows, his dedication to the craft runs deep.
Two passions drive everything he creates: an unwavering love for music and an obsession with computer technology and coding. Punk Nexus is where those worlds collide—a platform built by someone who understands both the soul of live music and the power of modern technology.
This isn't just another event site. It's a labor of love, crafted for the punk rock community by someone who's been in the trenches, felt the energy of a packed venue, and knows what it means to be part of the scene.
"Built for punks, by someone who gets it."
— Jeffrey Hunt, Founder
