Named after the legendary New York nightspot frequented by punk legends the Ramones, Blondie, Television and the Talking Heads in the late ‘70s, the festival will feature 21 bands across three stages.
Iggy Pop, who celebrated his 78th birthday in April, is making his first New York appearance in more than 10 years at the festival.

CBGB was founded in 1973 by Hilly Kristal. The festival aims to connect the club’s ties with the origin of punk rock with the current bands keeping the genre alive.
Under the K Bridge was chosen as the site of the festival because of its “industrial grit and cultural relevance,” according to a statement released by CBGB. Along with the live music, the festival will include local food and merch stands as well as immersive CBGB installations, including the bar and stage from the original club.
