Agnostic Front at Irving Plaza

Celebrating Seventy Years of Stigma

According to Vinnie Stigma’s latest memoir, he is “the most interesting man in the world” - and we can’t argue with that. He was there at the dawn of punk, was one of the most prominent pioneering musicians behind the development of the New York hardcore punk scene, and is also hailed as a trailblazer for the crossover thrash genre. He is the founding member of Agnostic Front, who has been there for over three decades, and absolutely nothing can dull their edge - not health scares, not hostility, not aging - nothing. 

Agnostic Front isn’t here to perform - they are here to live the music, and bringing the crowd along for the ride - pedal to the metal, fist-pumping, Doc Martens-stomping, ferociously committed to the hardcore ethos, and with energy that only veterans of hardcore punk can deliver. And what better way to celebrate the seventieth birthday of Vinnie Stigma than with a one-night-only birthday bash that is set to literally shred through the greatest New York hardcore songs of all time? Any punk fan, any music lover, and any curious one should do what it takes to get their hands on some tickets, and get into the biggest birthday party of the year! 

Let’s be frank - when it comes to Agnostic Front, you can expect it all and more: from ripping through the classics such as Never Walk Alone, Gotta Go, Old New York, Crucified, For My Family, and The Eliminator, to that relentless sound that gained them icon-status; from a crazily impassioned and gravelly vocal delivery to intense guitar playing that will blow the roof off; from chemistry that shakes the earth to the unwavering passion shining through; from whipping the crowd into an unmatched frenzy to music that defines a genre - expect it all, but most of all, to be left with that buzz that lasts long after the last notes had faded out!
