CBGB FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2025 LINEUP INCLUDING PERFORMANCES BY IGGY POP AND JACK WHITE
2025 has been the year of stacked festival lineups, but New York’s CBGB Festival might just take the crown. Taking place Saturday, September 27 under the K Bridge in Brooklyn, the fest marks the long-awaited return of some of punk's most legendary figures—with Iggy Pop, Jack White, and the Sex Pistols headlining what promises to be an absolutely unhinged day of music.
That’s right—Iggy Pop's first festival set in a decade. The godfather of punk is back to remind everyone how it’s really done.
And that’s just the tip of the safety-pinned iceberg. The lineup also includes Angeldust, Cro-Mags, The Damned, Gorilla Biscuits, Johnny Marr, Destroy Boys, Lip Critic, Lambrini Girls, The Linda Lindas, Lunachicks, Marky Ramone, Melvins, Murphy’s Law, Pinkshift, Scowl, Soul Glo, Teen Mortgage, and YHWH Nailgun. Basically, it’s a hardcore history lesson and a riot grrrl revival all in one.
All this chaos will unfold across three stages in one day, so brace yourself for tough decisions and heartbreaking set overlaps. Pro tip: start drafting your priority list now. If Destroy Boys, Pinkshift, and Scowl overlap, just know we’ll be somewhere crying into our spiked coffee.
Presale drops this Thursday at 10AM EST, and with a lineup this stacked, you’re going to want to act fast. To register for presale, click HERE!

The question isn’t should you go—it’s: can you handle it?
