Summerfest 2025 takes place over three weekends: June 19-21, June 26-28 and July 3-5. As an independent music festival, Summerfest is well known for its multi-genre lineup and is recognized as one of the most affordable music festivals in the world.

The CBGB Festival is taking place Sept. 27 at Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn, New York. Festival-goers can expect a full day of music, vintage and new merch, local food and drink, and immersive CBGB installations - including the famous bar and stage from the original club. The one-day event features a stacked lineup of generation-spanning bands, connecting punk's originators with its fiercest future voices across three stages:

• Iggy Pop will close out the night with his first New York City performance in over a decade

• Jack White returns to the city fresh off three sold-out shows this past February

• Punk legends like Sex Pistols, Johnny Marr, Lunachicks, Marky Ramone, The Damned and Melvins
