The performance style in psychobilly concerts emphasizes high energy and a lot of interactions between the band members and with the audience. The HorrorPops sometimes switch instruments for fun, and Kim Nekroman does stunts such as playing the fingerboard of his Coffinbass with his tongue. Demented are Go are known for their wild stage show, which included simulated on-stage sex with a vacuum cleaner. The Australian band [[Zombie Ghost Train]] were known for appearing on stage in "zombified" clothes, featuring rips and bloodstains, and zombie make up, complete with fake stitches across the face.

The [[Phenomenauts]] are known for their inventive and fun-filled live shows, which often include smoke machines, the Streamerator 2000, and various on-stage theatrics. [[Big John Bates]] was banned in one venue due to concerns about their overly risque stage antics. [[Deadbolt (band)|Deadbolt]] is known for its use of power tools during their live sets, and it is customary for the audience to be showered with sparks of red-hot metal during their live shows. [[King Kurt]], a 1980s band, was known for its infamous "food fight" gigs, in which eggs and bags of flour were thrown around on and off stage and audience members were given free haircuts. "King Kurt had a bad reputation for doing things that would make people question the band's stability. These included going on stage in dresses, dressed as Zulus, and playing drinking games on stage. Tabloids often accused them of mixing drugs ... into whatever they made people drink on stage, tossing dead animals into the crowds, and rampant sex occurring as they played."<ref name="furious.com"/>

"At any psychobilly show, you might see some dancing... only, it's not your average dancing. That would be what's called [[moshing|"wrecking"]]. According to wreckingpit.com, wrecking is more like a demented hybrid of "[[slam-dancing]] and freestyle wrestling". It's basically the semi-official psycho happy-dance, hence the Nekromantix song, "Struck By a Wrecking Ball"."<ref name="midnightcalling.com">{{cite web |last=Von Trash |first=Samantha |title=The Wreckin' History and Culture of Psychobilly |url=http://www.midnightcalling.com/wordpress-mc/wordpress-mc/2006/07/the-wreckin-history-and-culture-of-psychobilly/ |website=Midnight Calling |access-date=October 20, 2013 |date=July 3, 2006}}</ref> "Originally, the dancing was known as 'going mental' – this type of dancing eventually became known as 'stomping', and then finally took on its official name: 'wrecking{{'"}}.<ref name="furious.com"/> One definition of "wrecking" is "a strange form of dance that can best be described as a combination of slam dancing, [[swing dancing]], and fistfights."<ref name="furious.com"/>
