Rising punk powerhouse JON Q PUBLIC is gearing up to hit the road and bringing their high-energy live show to fans in two explosive waves across the Midwest.


Known for their dynamic performances, driving riffs, and emotionally charged songwriting,
JON Q PUBLIC has built a reputation as a must-see live act. The band’s upcoming tour marks a major step forward as JON Q PUBLIC continues to expand into key markets throughout the U.S.


The tour will be divided into two spearate runs, allowing the band to cover more territory and connect with fans in multiple cities throughout the Midwest. Featuring headling performances alongside select supporting acts, expect a full-throttle, raw, gritty, rock and roll experience... one that keeps audiences wanting more!


Setlists will feature standout tracks from the band’s catalog, crowd favorites, and new material that showcases the band’s continued growth and evolution. From intimate club venues to large regional stages, JON Q PUBLIC promises an unforgettable live experience driven by unrefined passion, authenticity, and fierce rock energy. The band is poised to solidify their presence as one of the region’s most compelling live rock acts.

JON Q PUBLIC is Midwestern punk band best known for high energy performances and catchy rock and roll songs with attitude. 


Members include JJ Roetting on vox & strings, Joe Payne on strings & backup vox, Adam Pacheco on drums, and Jon Doe who fills in occasionally on drums or strings & backup vox. 


The band plays an eerie dystopian tsunami of eclectic and traditional punk music fused with pop punk. Influences include Black Flag, Ramones, Misfits, Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, Agent Orange, and more. 


There is no “H” in JON Q PUBLIC. JON Q PUBLIC should not to be confused with the Christian rock group Johnny Q. Public, and has never released music titled "Feel The Bern".
