CREEM Entertainment, celebrating the one-year anniversary of its relaunch and its Summer 2023 edition, has announced the first annual Summer Sunburn, an “all-day rock party” in Brooklyn. Summer Sunburn on July 22 will include: Nothing; Radioactivity, this being their first NYC appearance in five years; Godcaster; Loosey; Jobber; as well as DJ Edan and CREEM writer Hether Fortune playing between acts.
Brought back after 33 years of absence, CREEM Entertainment is the modern reincarnation of Detroit’s famous CREEM Magazine, originally founded in 1969, and grew to be a staple of music journalism for twenty years.
The magazine helped cultivate the talent of people such as Lester Bangs, Cameron Crowe, Patti Smith, Robert Christgau and Jaan Uhelszki (who returned as Editorial Director). In 2020, the magazine’s rise and fall was chronicled in the documentary “CREEM: America’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll Magazine.”
We’re now a year into this journey of proving that BOTH rock and print aren’t dead so now’s the time to crack open a coldie and celebrate with the sickest lineup we could imagine!
CREEM’s Vice President of Content Fred Pessaro
CREEM Entertainment still covers the classics, bands like The Who, Peter Frampton, or Metallica, but also the new faces to the genre and those that they missed in their 33 years of hiatus. It is led by former VICE publisher John Martin as CEO, and Chairman J.J. Kramer, who is the son of original co-founder and publisher Barry Kramer.
Taking place in Roberta’s backyard in Brooklyn, NY on July 22, the celebration will run from 2:00 to 10:00 p.m., with music, food, and drinks available. Summer Sunburn will continue CREEM’s partnership with Slane Irish Whiskey. Tickets are available on CREEM’s website, here.
