The Exploited, Adolescents, Conflict,
Verbal Abuse, Today is The Day, Circle of Dead Children, Dayglo Abortions,

Boys. Also yet to be confirmed is the specific date for the performance from Kid Dynamite.

The legendary NYC club which played home to bands like the Ramones, Patti Smith, Blondie, Television and literally hundreds of others artists through the years may be forced to close its doors. The situation arose due to a dispute with Bowery Residents Committee which holds a 45-year lease on the building. CBGB's is their lone commercial tenant; their rent feud dates back five years, when the committee went to court to collect more than $300,000 in back rent from the club. The Bowery Residents Committee which is 75% funded by the city of New York has listed the
property on the Real Estate MLS for anyone else who wishes to rent 313 and
315 Bowery.

Limited amount of tickets will start being made available on July 26th
through ticketweb.
