CBGG Festival announces 2025 lineup: See Iggy Pop, Jack White, more
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. On Oct. 15, 2006, New York City's legendary punk and new wave venue CBGB closed. In the nearly 20 years since, nothing in the City has quite replaced the iconic performance space where Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Ramones, Television and Blondie played for audiences of 350 people or less. That all changes this year. For the first time since 2012, the CBGB Festival returns to New York. The festivities go down at Brooklyn's Under The K Bridge Park on Saturday, Sept. 27. Just a few of the most exciting headliners on the bill include O.G. punk Iggy Pop, recent Rock Hall of Fame inductee Jack White, seminal anarchists Sex Pistols, The Smiths' Johnny Marr and legendary vets The Damned. They'll be joined by The Linda Lindas, Destroy Boys, Gorilla Biscuits, Melvins and Marky Ramone, one of the three surviving members of the groundbreaking group. All in all, 21 acts will take the stage over the course of the one-day extravaganza that Melodic Mag claims begs the question 'who would be playing CBGB' today?' If you want to be there, tickets are officially on-sale as of today. At the time of publication, single-day general admission passes start at $259 including fees on Vivid Seats.

Iconic punk venue CBGB is coming back for a one-day-only festival this September
A dearly departed piece of New York's punk past is being resurrected for one night only this fall. CBGB —the iconic East Village music club that helped kickstart the careers of many notable punk rock and new wave bands, including Ramones, Blondie, Television, Talking Heads, Dead Boys and Patti Smith Group, among others—has announced that it will be popping up once again as CBGB Festival on September 27 at Under the K Bridge Park in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. (The original CBGB shuttered for good in 2006 at 315 Bowery.) Presented with The Bowery Presents, the one-day gig—a 'festival for uplifting gormandizers,' per organizers, nodding to the old club's full name—will kick off the tunes at 3pm and feature 21 bands, many of whom previously rattled and rocked that historic music hall during its heyday in the 1970s and '80. Along with high-profile headliners Iggy Pop and Jack White, the lineup will span three stages with performers such as Sex Pistols, Johnny Marr, Lunachicks, Marky Ramone, The Damned, Melvins. But it's not just old favorites on the docket: 'The CBGB Festival celebrates New York City's gritty, sticker-covered past through the lens of the modern punk era, with a lineup bridging punk's origins to its future torchbearers,' proclaims the festival website. That means fresh-faced rockers like The Linda Lindas, Destroy Boys, Angel Du$t, Scowl, Pinkshift, Teen Mortgage, YHWH Nailgun and Lip Critic, among others, will also be taking the CBGB stage. Presale registration is open now at Presale begins Thursday, May 15 at 10am Eastern Time, with general ticket sales kicking off Friday, May 16 at 10am. Ticket prices range from a $73 'Young Punks' option (reserved for concertgoers under 24 years old) to good ol' general admission tickets starting at $149. Along with those mosh-ready musical sets, CBGB Festival will also feature vintage and new merch collections, loads of local food & beverage options, and expansive CBGB installations including relics from the original club.

Iggy Pop, Jack White Say ‘Hey! Ho!' To CBGB Festival
It has been 50 years since CBGB birthed the New York rock explosion led by Patti Smith, Talking Heads and the Ramones — a legacy that will be honored Sept. 27 at the first CBGB Festival. The event will be headlined by Iggy Pop and Jack White and will take place at Under the K Bridge Park, a new outdoor venue literally underneath the Kosciuszko Bridge roadway in Brooklyn. The 21-band, three-stage lineup will also sport Sex Pistols with new singer Frank Carter, Johnny Marr, Marky Ramone, the Damned, Gorilla Biscuits, Melvins, Lambrini Girls, the Linda Lindas, Lunachicks, Scowl, Cro-Mags, Murphy's Law and Pinkshift. Attendees will be treated such hallowed memorabilia as the original CBGB's bar and stage More from Spin: Eric Clapton's 'Unplugged' and the Peak Dad Rock Moment The Vernon Spring Finds Clarity in Haze Pearl Jam Revisit Vintage Songs For 'The Last Of Us' Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday (May 16), and a trove of 350 GA tickets will be available only at the Music Hall of Williamsburg box office the next day for residents under 25. The 'Young Punk' discounted ducats will sell for $73, in line with the year CBGB opened. Pop hasn't played a headlining show in New York in nine years, although he has appeared at such events as the annual Tibet House benefit and a symphonic celebration of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, which was held just days before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Other artists on the bill have longstanding connections to the music of the CBGB era, with White frequently covering Iggy and the Stooges' 'I Wanna Be Your Dog' and Marr featuring Pop's 'The Passenger' in his live set lists in 2024. Marky Ramone and the Damned are also no strangers to the original club, with the former having played it countless times with the Ramones and the latter among the first U.K. punk bands to visit in April 1977. CBGB closed its doors on the Bowery in 2006 after a farewell concert by Smith. Its building is now occupied by a John Varvatos store, although the CBGB name has since been licensed for a restaurant at Newark International Airport. In 2018, Target provoked the ire of New York music lovers by tweaking CBGB's famous awning to celebrate the opening of a new retail location in Astor Place. The four-lettered acronym was swapped out for 'TRGT' and 'BANDS,' which referred not to music but complimentary Band-Aids and exercise bands with Target logos on them.

Hilly Kristal opened CBGB & OMFUG in 1973 in the heart of the Bowery, which at the time was one of New York's grittiest neighborhoods — an ideal spot for a burgeoning underground scene. The hallowed venue CBGB, for which the fest takes its name, was known for booking iconic musicians like the Ramones, Blondie, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Television, and many more before they became legends. The club closed in October 2006; its last show was a three-and-a-half-hour performance by Patti Smith. 'It was an honor to be the last group, and I really thought about what that meant, what kind of responsibility that was,' Smith, who first played the CBGB in 1974, told Rolling Stone after she gave the final CGBG performance. 'I thought about all the people that played there and that we lost — about Hilly [Kristal, the owner] and the whole history. I just wanted to do a night like any other night, sort of like the nights at the beginning but without being nostalgic.'
