Tompkins Square Park welcomed Leftöver Crack back on Saturday afternoon for a free, all-ages show presented by Show Brain.
The performance marked the band's return to Tompkins Square Park, where it first played in August 1999 during a Riot Reunion show. In the years that followed, the park also hosted performances by related projects, including Choking Victim reunions and Star Fucking Hipsters.
Leftöver Crack has been on tour since early May, starting on the West Coast before making its way east. Ahead of Saturday's performance, the band reflected on its longstanding connection to Tompkins Square Park, writing on Instagram: "We all live for music & the power of anarcho-punk activism & to play for free in the park that made us who we are is an honor that we shall never take for granted."
Here are a few scenes from the afternoon, starting with vocalists Scott "Stza" Sturgeon and Tibbie X ... before an enthusiastic crowd...

Saturday's show also featured the Dollheads, Pilfers, Loosey and Balaclava.

This show was a full circle awesome return home after many months of touring. Reagan Youth played our last show at Tompkins with Sturgeon singing and then we ended a long Leftover Crack tour in the park with Madame St Beatrice present (she’s in the last photo with us) who is singing for the next “no original members” version of Reagan Youth - coming to play out live in the somewhat near future but ssshhhhh that’s top secret. Amazing to see everyone out having a blast 💥! Balaclava, Loosey, Pilfers, and Dollheads made for a full blown party in the park and I didn’t accidentally start a riot “rocking a 40 oz” like 2004 actually nevermind. That never happened …,
