Punk Royalty Unites! 🎸 Billie Joe, Travis Barker & Co. Rock Ramones 50th!

Los Angeles just witnessed a monumental night for punk rock as an all-star supergroup, dubbed The Cretin Family, came together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Ramones' self-titled debut album. The legendary Hollywood Forever Cemetery provided the perfect atmospheric backdrop for this unforgettable tribute.

The supergroup featured an incredible lineup: Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Rancid's Tim Armstrong, blink-182's Travis Barker, and original Ramones bassist CJ Ramone. Together, they ripped through a 19-song setlist of Ramones classics, electrifying the crowd with their raw energy and passion for punk rock.

The night was further elevated by a stellar roster of guest artists.

The rising stars, The Linda Lindas, brought their youthful vigor to tracks like "California Sun" and "I Wanna Be Sedated." Comedy icon Fred Armisen also joined in the festivities, adding his unique flair. The legendary Billy Idol delivered an explosive performance, joining The Cretin Family for the final three songs of the night, including a rousing rendition of "Beat on the Brat" and his old band Generation X's "Ready Steady Go." The grand finale, "Blitzkrieg Bop," saw The Linda Lindas return to the stage, creating a powerful, multi-generational punk anthem moment.

Adding another layer of celebrity to the event, actor John Travolta hosted the evening, which also included a double screening of the films "Carrie" and "Propeller One-Way Night Coach." Fans were treated to a setlist packed with fan favorites, showcasing the enduring legacy of The Ramones and the profound impact they've had on generations of musicians. It was a true celebration of punk's past, present, and future, proving that the spirit of 'Hey Ho, Let's Go!' is very much alive.
