Nostalgic for the underground Boston punk-rock of yesteryear? WMBR’s Pipeline! knows how you feel. To treat your longing for the good ol’ days, the show’s putting on a series of concerts that will reunite some 80 Boston rock bands from the last five decades to celebrate “50 Years of Boston Rock.”

Reunited acts will perform during 13 different shows at five venues across five weekends in September and October. A few acts are still TBA, with a possible 14th show to be added. Visit individual venue websites for tickets (to become available in the coming weeks).

Here’s who’s “gettin’ the band back together”:
