The event will mark 50 years since the release of Ramones’ self-titled 1976 debut album, the record that helped ignite the punk revolution with songs including ‘Blitzkrieg Bop’, ‘Judy Is A Punk’ and ‘Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue’.
“This is gonna be the biggest celebration of the Ramones anyone has seen for a long time!!!” CJ Ramone said of the show.
Billie Joe Armstrong added: “The spirit of the Ramones is alive in every backyard punk show, punk club and festival. Generation after generation of cretins and weirdos become Ramones lovers. Kids are influenced by the Ramones and they don’t even know it yet. ¡Viva Ramones!”
