Tape Swap Radio has revealed the vendor and band line-up for the upcoming 2026 Lehigh Valley Punk Rock Flea Market. The event will be free to the public and will take place on Saturday, April 18 at the Ice House in Bethlehem, PA.

 

Vendors - 10 AM - 4 PM

Vendors will be set up both inside and outside the Ice House from 10 AM to 4 PM. This year’s market will feature over 50 vendors and over 60 tables. Vendors will be featured from throughout the Lehigh Valley, and as far away as New York, New Jersey, and Delaware. While vendor sales are happening, Lehigh Valley-based DJ Warlock will be spinning a mix of punk, power pop, glam, and more. New for this year is the most requested addition to the LVPRFM: a food truck. Cactus Blue Mexican Restaurant will be set up in the parking lot with food and drinks. Full vendor list is below.

 

Band Line-Up: 4:30 - 7 PM

After vendor sales end at 4 PM, Tape Swap Radio will present a free live show on the Ice House’s main floor in conjunction with the IceHouse Punk & DIY collective. Come out, dance, rage, and enjoy.

Rubix Pube
Lehigh Valley, PA
”Mountain-based mutant rock”

It couldn’t be more fitting that Vanessa Marchiano began Rubix Pube’s recent Shards Session recording for Tape Swap Radio by proclaiming, “Greetings, Earthlings!” If any band in the Lehigh Valley seems like they landed here from another planet, it’s Rubix Pube. The eclectic three-piece describes their music as “mountain-based mutant rock,” creating songs about everything from losing your hair because you’re not a good person to gladiatorial bugs battling to the death. Throughout their four-song session, Marchiano’s guitar playing teeters between hefty garage rock riffs and nimble jazz chords. Meanwhile, Rob Shepherd’s bass lines and Felix Wheatfield’s drum grooves are surprisingly sturdy and robust, a kind of reliable glue that holds the weirdo freakout art project that is Rubix Pube together.

Problem Addict
Philadelphia, PA
”Maladjusted garage punk for warped weirdos”

Emerging from the muck of an uncaring world, these derelicts became bound by a single purpose... to exact auditory revenge on the worthless society that spit them out. Now, they will stop at nothing to unleash their brand of sonic destruction on the masses and take their place at the top of the trash heap. They are the problem you want to see in the world. They are...PROBLEM ADDICT.

Wealth Gap
Lehigh Valley and Reading, PA
”Groove punk”

Explosive, loud, and fast, Wealth Gap’s sound dips into the storied punk tradition of early 1980s hardcore (”Tapped Out,” “Video Nasty”), while adding their own special blend of herbs and spices (surf rock influences on “Drinking + Driving,” post-punk on “Death Stain”). With three of the members based in Reading, PA and one in the Lehigh Valley, the band can often be found splitting their time between the two locales. In Reading, the band has performed at DIY venues Pleasuretone and Cloud 10; in the Lehigh Valley, they have played at Bethlehem venues National Sokols and the Flying V. Singer Jimmy Wolff also produces the Locked in the Basement cassette series that welcomes DIY bands into his basement to record one-take live performances straight to tape.
