Neutral ground

In May 2022, we embarked on an exciting new venture within our community - the birth of a monthly event that has quickly become a beloved tradition. Every final Sunday of the month, we proudly present an electrifying all-ages punk show known as Neutral Ground at the Holland Project.

Neutral Ground holds a special place in the hearts of both budding musicians and seasoned veterans, as it provides a nurturing platform for new bands to showcase their talents during their debut performances. Meanwhile, established bands experiment with fresh material and establish a deeper connection with the vibrant punk scene.

Guided by the DIY punk ethos Neutral Ground is open to all who wish to experience the energy and creativity that defines our community. Whether you are an ardent punk enthusiast or just curious to dip your toes into the punk-rock waters, you are always welcome to join us.

Each show typically features a dynamic lineup of three bands, we tend to feature two newer bands and one veteran band. The RPRFM team is really proud that so many new bands have had their debut show at our event. The crowd for NG represents a broad array of folks from toddlers to 65+ participants.

So mark your calendars and stop by any last Sunday of the month. Whether you are an aspiring musician seeking a stage or simply interested in supporting the DIY scene, our monthly matinee show is here for you. Join us for an afternoon filled with fresh live music, unforgettable energy, and an unbreakable bond that unites us all.
