Randall´s Island replaced the former venues, Governors Island & Staten Island, which also belong to New York City. I think the change is a good idea. There were more green meadows and plenty of trees which provide shade against the torching sun.
About 100 bands played on 7 stages. We were overwhelmed by the sheer size of the festival and the summer heat. So we watched just a fraction of the performances, but we took pleasure in what we heard & saw. I apologize to all the bands we missed.

"Punk Island 2017" was a very peaceful and friendly party as in the years before. Those who liked to let some steam off participated at the dynamic circle runs and jump dances before the stages.
Others enjoyed the concerts sitting in the green grass like attending a family picnic.
Punk Island was a lot of fun again. Thanks to bands & organizers.
