CBGB announce 40th anniversary music and film festival
Despite closing its doors in 2006, iconic New York venue CBGB relaunched last year as a music festival. Now, celebrating its 40th year since initially opening, it’s back for a five-day event.
The second CBGB Music & Film Festival will run from 9-13 October in the Big Apple, proclaiming to be ”NYC’s largest ever showcase of music, film, art, social awareness, entertainment industry workshops and conferences.”
It’ll also feature 700 acts performing across 175 venues in the city. Last year saw the likes of Guided By Voices, Cloud Nothings and The War on Drugs appearing at the fest.
Meanwhile, CBGB is set to be the subject of an upcoming new movie, starring Alan Rickman and more.
