IGGY POP, JACK WHITE, SEX PISTOLS, THE DAMNED, Others Confirmed For 2025 Edition Of CBGB FESTIVAL

CBGB & OMFUG - Home Of Underground Rock lives on with the announcement of the CBGB Festival, presented in partnership with The Bowery Presents, taking place September 27 at Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn, New York. The one-day event features a stacked lineup of 21 generation-spanning bands across three raucous stages. Headlining the festival are Iggy Pop — his first New York City show in over a decade — and Jack White.

The lineup is impeccably curated, featuring punk legends like SEX PISTOLS, Johnny Marr, LUNACHICKS, Marky Ramone, THE DAMNED and MELVINS; CBGB-era hardcore staples GORILLA BISCUITS, MURPHY'S LAW and CRO-MAGS; and today's punk torchbearers including THE LINDA LINDAS, LAMBRINI GIRLS, DESTROY BOYS, ANGEL DU$T, SCOWL, PINKSHIFT, TEEN MORTGAGE, YHWH NAILGUN, SOUL GLO and LIP CRITIC.

Fans can register now for presale access at cbgbfest.com. Presale tickets go live Thursday, May 15 at 10 a.m. ET, with public on-sale beginning Friday, May 16 at 10 a.m. ET.

A special "Young Punk" discounted GA ticket will be available for New York residents under 25 — in person only — at a box office pop-up at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday, May 17 at 12 p.m. ET. This limited batch of 350 tickets (an homage to the original CBGB capacity) will be priced at $73, a nod to the year the club opened: 1973.

Founded by Hilly Kristal in 1973 on the Bowery, CBGB became an icon of raw energy, rebellion, and underground music, launching the careers of the RAMONES, BLONDIE, Patti Smith, TALKING HEADS, TELEVISION and countless others.

The CBGB Festival pays tribute to New York City's gritty, sticker-covered past through the lens of modern punk. The lineup connects punk's originators with its fiercest future voices, all answering one core question: Who would be playing at CBGB today?

Under the K Bridge Park was chosen for its industrial grit and cultural relevance in the heart of Brooklyn. Festival-goers can expect a full day of music, vintage and new merch, local food and drink, and immersive CBGB installations — including the famous bar and stage from the original club.

Founded in 1973 in Manhattan's East Village, CBGB was ground zero for the seminal punk rock and new wave movements, launching the careers of bands like the RAMONES, BLONDIE, TALKING HEADS, TELEVISION, PATTI SMITH GROUP, THE DEAD BOYS, Richard Hell, THE BEASTIE BOYS and THE DICTATORS. During the 1980s, CBGB would become home to the hardcore punk revolution, with bands such as AGNOSTIC FRONT, MURPHY'S LAW, CRO-MAGS and GORILLA BISCUITS becoming synonymous with the club. In the 1990s, the club embraced the next generation of hard rock with bands including SUM 41, KORN, GREEN DAY and GUNS N' ROSES regularly performing. Over the past 50 years, CBGB has become the most famous, influential, and talked-about rock and roll club of all time.

CBGB and its iconic logo continue to personify underground and alternative music and all that it stands for. In 2013, the former location at 315 Bowery was added to the National Register of Historic Places and remains a pilgrimage site for legions of music fans today. CBGB's legacy and cultural relevance are now managed by a passionate group of New York City-based music lovers who are dedicated to curating its impact on music, fashion, and visual art today.
