Overview
- A punk supergroup called Cretin Family — Billie Joe Armstrong, Tim Armstrong, Travis Barker and CJ Ramone — made its live debut performing Ramones songs at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Aug. 30, 2026.
- The 19‑song set mixed Ramones hits and related covers and featured surprise guests including Billy Idol, Fred Armisen, Jason Freese and The Linda Lindas, who joined on multiple numbers.
- Actor John Travolta introduced the event, which included post‑show film screenings and was promoted by Linda Ramone as the official 50th‑anniversary tribute to the Ramones' 1976 debut album.
- Organizers said proceeds from the evening supported cancer research at the Ellison Institute, while the choice of Hollywood Forever linked the show to Dee Dee Ramone’s gravesite and a Johnny Ramone statue.
- The concert served as the opening milestone of year‑long anniversary programming that also includes Rhino Records reissues, and no further plans for Cretin Family beyond the one‑night performance have been announced.
