The 3rd annual CBGB Music & Film Festival has announced its lineup, which will see headlining performances from Jane’s Addiction, Surfer Blood, Devo, Billy Idol, and more!
The festival is held from October 8-12 in various venues across New York City. Last year, bands like Grizzly Bear and My Morning Jacket performed in the middle of Times Square. Tickets will be sold for individual events, as opposed to the festival as a whole.
Jane’s Addiction will also be celebrating the 25th anniversary of their classic album, Nothing’s Shocking, by performing the LP in its entirety, according to Rolling Stone. Other artists performing include Guns N Roses’ Duff McKagan, Dirty South, We Are Scientists, Macy Gray, Robert DeLong, Cheeky Parade, and more. The full list of musicians can be found on the CBGB Fest website.
The festival will also host a number of films, including a 30th anniversary screening of This Is Spinal Tap!, a premiere of the live Devo film Hardcore Devo Live, as well as The Winding Stream, a documentary that covers the Cash and Carter families.
Tickets are set to be released soon, starting at $10 for certain events. All information can be found on the CBGB Festival website.
