Never mind the Bollocks, here’s the CBGB Festival‘s 2026 lineup.
The recently-revived punk fest — the first edition went down last year — just announced all the anti-authoritarian household names they’re bringing in to perform at Brooklyn’s Under The K Bridge Park on Saturday, Sept. 26.
Just a few of the most notable artists set to grace the CBGB stages in ’26 include Rock Hall of Famer Patti Smith, hometown favorites Interpol, former Smiths frontman Morrissey, punk pioneers The Sex Pistols with frontman Frank Carter and ’90s icons Bikini Kill.
They’ll be joined by gritty warriors Agnostic Front, Bad Nerves, Buzzcocks, Circle Jerks and Haywire.
Mannequin Pussy, Upchuck, Militarie Gun, Panic Shock and Violet Grohl (Dave’s daughter!) round out the impressive lineup.
Plus, Sleater-Kinney and Fred Armisen’s Ramones tribute band The Return of Jackie and Judy will be there as well.
In total, 17 high-octane acts are slated to shred at the one-day extravaganza.
Erica Radol of The Post attended the “first” CBGB Festival last year and noted that “many, myself included, were skeptical that the heavily-sponsored event could honor the legacy of founder Hilly Kristal’s den of outsiders and geniuses.”
She then added “[but] it did.”
Radol let us know that the raucous event was made up of The CBGB Stage (where major headliners perform), The Young Punks Stage (for the rising next-generation stars) and Hilly’s Stage (featuring the most authentic line-up that most exemplify the original East Village venue’s ethos.
“Hilly would have been psyched. He loved music, and by virtue of that, he loved people. This [fest] is a recognition of that, by the name — but in fact, it’s bigger than that,” Gorilla Biscuits guitarist Walter Schreifels told Radol.
