For the past 28 years, the CMJ Music Marathon has rocked with the best, featuring performances from legendary bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Beastie Boys to up-and-coming acts like No Age and Yeasayer. In 2008, the CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival returns to New York City from October 21-25.
