Day-long CBGB Festival in Brooklyn this September to feature Iggy Pop, Jack White

Today, the CBGB brand announced the CBGB Festival, set for Sept. 27 at Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn. Presented with The Bowery Presents, the one-day festival will feature 21 bands, including headliners Iggy Pop and Jack White. 

The lineup playing on three stages includes artists from multiple eras, such as Sex Pistols, Johnny Marr, Lunachicks, Marky Ramone, The Damned, and Melvins. Bands associated with the original CBGB hardcore scene — Gorilla Biscuits, Murphy's Law, and Cro-Mags — will also perform, along with newer acts like The Linda Lindas, Lambrini Girls, Destroy Boys, Angel Du$t, Scowl, Pinkshift, Teen Mortgage, YHWH Nailgun, Soul Glo, and Lip Critic. 

Presale registration is open now at CBGBFEST.COM. Presale begins Thursday at 10 a.m.; general ticket sales start Friday at 10 a.m. 

General admission tickets start at $149. There is a "Young Punks" ticket option ($73) for concertgoers under 24 years old. Those tickets will be available in person only on Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. at the Bowery Presents box office at Music Hall of Williamsburg, 66 N. 6th St.

This is not the CBGB brand's first foray into festival territory. You may recall the CBGB Music & Film Festival from 2012-2014. 

CBGB closed at 315 Bowery in October 2006.

    "Turning rebellion into money"..............Joe Strummer ('77)..........I must say that is a pretty sick lineup. It's worth the price of admission just to see the one and only Iggy do his thing who for some reason does't seem to come around these parts very much anymore. The Free Band was his best lineup of recent years but not sure he's touring with them for this show. The rest of that lot ain't half bad either.
