CBGB Festival is just days away from returning to New York City, and organizers have now revealed the official set times for this year’s event.
The one-day festival takes place Saturday, September 26 at Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn, with 17 artists performing across the CBGB Stage and Marshall Presents Hilly’s Stage. Doors open at 2:00 PM, with music kicking off at 2:15 PM.
This year’s lineup brings together several generations of punk, hardcore and alternative music, with Morrissey, Interpol and Patti Smith among the top-billed performers. Also appearing are Sex Pistols members Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock with Frank Carter, along with Bikini Kill, Circle Jerks, Buzzcocks, Agnostic Front, Mannequin Pussy, Militarie Gun, High Vis, Bad Nerves and more.
The festival will also feature The Return of Jackie and Judy, the Ramones tribute project featuring Fred Armisen alongside Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker.
Beyond the performances, CBGB Festival will once again pay tribute to the legendary Bowery club with installations and artifacts from the original venue, including its stage, bar and Hilly Kristal’s office.
