Why: Formerly known as the Superbowl of Hardcore, the newly redubbed Black N’ Blue Bowl comes to Webster Hall — the event began in the 1980s at the old Ritz in the same space — on May 16-17 with more than two dozen hardcore punk bands, including an exclusive appearance by the reunited BURN. “Hardcore music has been instrumental in my life and I’m excited about getting onstage with Gavin again,” BURN leader Chaka Malik said in a statement. “We’ve been approached to do this for well over a decade and it never felt like it was the right time,” guitarist Gavin Van Vlack added. “Finally the stars have aligned at a time when it all feels so right, where the pure desire that Chaka and I have to play these songs has come to fruit.” Other highlights include the Regulators, with Darryl Jenifer and Dr. Know from Bad Brains and John Joseph and Mackie Jayson from Cro-Mags, and the Wilding Incident, with Lord Ezec on vocals, Jimmy Williams on drums, and Sacha Jenkins on guitar.
