CBGB’s Phil Sandhaus says, "We welcome Marshall as the presenter of Hilly’s Stageat the CBGB Festival this year. It’s a full circle moment. The legendary Marshall Amp was a fixture at CBGB - used by legends like the Ramones to today's stars like Haywire, its iconic sound became an essential piece to the birth of the punk movement that still rings true today.”

Building on last year’s raucous inaugural success and punk’s 50th anniversary, this year’s stacked lineup features legends Morrissey and Patti Smith, Interpol, Sex Pistols (Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock) ft. Frank Carter, Bikini Kill, Mannequin Pussy, and more. The festival’s stages will feature generation-spanning acts, from 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.

Legendary UK electronic pioneers The Prodigy will also kick off CBGB Festival weekend on Friday, September 25 at Under the K Bridge Park with their first New York City performance in 17 years, featuring support from Berlin electronic duo Brutalismus 3000, Sextile and Lip Critic – tickets here.

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, expanded local food and drink options, and immersive CBGB installations, including Hilly’s office, the famous bar, and the original stage from the club.

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

ABOUT CBGB & OMFUG - HOME OF UNDERGROUND ROCK

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, 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 & 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.
