Okay so it’s not 100% for sure that the club will re-open but it is being talked about + they WILL through a music festival this summer in NYC. Here is was RS says on the matter:
After purchasing the assets for the legendary, defunct New York City rock club CBGB, the entity’s new owners are planning a massive city-wide music festival this summer and considering the possibility of reopening the club at a new location down the road, the New York Times reports.
The CBGB Festival, set to run from July 5th to 8th, will include 300 bands at 30 locations across New York, from Central Park’s Summerstage to the Highline Ballroom to clubs like Lit Lounge. The original CBGB closed in 2006.
