The festival's stages will feature generation-spanning acts, from Sleater-Kinney and Fred Armisen's Ramones tribute band The Return of Jackie and Judy, and Buzzcocks to CBGB-era hardcore staples Circle Jerks, Agnostic Front, and Haywire, plus today's torchbearers Upchuck, Militarie Gun, High Vis, Bad Nerves, Panic Shack, and Violet Grohl.
The organizers chose Under the K Bridge Park as the venue for its industrial grit and cultural relevance in the heart of Brooklyn.
"Building on last year's CBGB Festival, we've worked hard to create an even stronger experience for fans this year. For decades, CBGB defined the punk scene and helped shape a generation of music lovers in New York and beyond. This year's lineup honors that legacy while celebrating the past, present, and future of punk and alternative music. No other festival on the East Coast offers that," CBGB's Phil Sandhaus said.
