Rooted in rebellion, fueled by raw energy, and defined by an underground legacy — CBGB is more than a name; it’s a movement. The CBGB Festival celebrates New York City’s gritty, sticker-covered, past, through the lens of the modern punk era. Bridging generations of counterculture, it honors the enduring spirit of the city’s music underground while spotlighting the voices shaping its future.
3 stages, 21 bands, 1 day of punk paradise under a bridge in Brooklyn.
