As announced earlier this week, Agnostic Front will be appearing at the CBGB’s Music Festival on opening night in NYC at Webster Hall on July 5th along their 30th Anniversary tour route, performing the classic Live at CBGB’s set list.  And to top it off, fellow NYHC legends Madball will also be on the show.  AF vocalist Roger Miret said, “We are very excited to be performing on the opening night of the CBGB’s Music Festival in NYC! We are wrapping up shows on our 30 Year Anniversary Tour and we are performing the classic ‘LIVE AT CBGB’S’ set list from the iconic 1989 release. We have been invited to join this festival for their biggest opening night at the monumental WEBSTER HALL club, and are very excited to have landed a great homecoming show in our celebration as a band for 30 years! And to top it all off, we are doing this nostalgic gig with our brothers MADBALL! I hear there will be 2 more exciting bands to be added to this line-up, so come on out and share our celebration in this Hardcore World and get ready for another ‘Live At CBGB’s’ performance!”
In conjunction with these 30th anniversary shows in June and July, Bridge Nine Records will be reissuing Agnostic Front’s Live at CBGB’s album on July 17th.  Featuring an embossed LP cover with the original Live at CBGB artwork, the label will also be pressing the music on super limited edition red, white and blue striped vinyl with multiple other colorways available.
Originally released in1989, Live at CBGB contains 19 of Agnostic Front’s most notorious tracks.  Allmusic said, “Recorded in the flesh at New York’s punk rock Mecca CBGB in August of 1988, Live at CBGB captures the band in all its ferocious glory. As Miret announces ‘this is the title track from our first album Victim in Pain, the song’s also called ‘Victim in Pain’,” the band is off. ‘Pain’ is quickly followed by ‘Public Assistance’ and later a song that calls for unity between punks and skins, ‘United Blood.’ The recording is highlighted by the band’s hardcore anthem, ‘Crucified’. Beneath all the band’s political lambasting and calls for unity (although many of their shows were anything but), there’s a good musical lesson to be learned from all of this. Because, if you’ve ever been just the slightly bit curious about what NYHC is all about, this release is a solid launching point.”   We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
Pre-order information and release details for Bridge Nine’s re-issue of Live at CBGB will be coming soon.  In the meantime, check out Agnostic Front’s 30th Anniversary show listing below.
