CBGB Festival Returns with a Lineup That Honors Rock History While Embracing Its Future

CBGB Festival is back, bringing its iconic legacy to life with a stacked lineup of boundary-pushing artists, legendary acts, and emerging talent that define the spirit of rock and alternative music. This year’s event promises to be one of the most memorable yet, continuing the tradition of honoring CBGB’s roots while pushing the genre forward.

Headlining the 2025 edition is none other than Iggy Pop, the godfather of punk himself, whose raw energy and enduring influence make him the perfect figurehead for a festival built on rebellion and innovation. Joining him are a range of powerful performers, from hardcore trailblazers like Scowl to genre-defying acts who embody the evolving sound of alternative music today.

The festival blends music, culture, and community in a way few others can, creating an experience that’s as immersive as it is loud. From intimate club shows to high-energy main stage sets, CBGB Festival stays true to its roots while celebrating the artists redefining what modern rock can be.

Whether you grew up with CBGB stitched into your jacket or you’re just discovering its legacy, this year’s lineup offers something for every fan of authentic, no-compromise music. Full schedule and details can be found at www.cbgb.com.
