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.
