Always best to check with the venue for the latest information on set times and door charges, since that information is often posted here weeks in advance.

If you see a show listed without the start time, that’s because either the artist, their publicist or the venue in question sent incomplete info – those acts are usually listed last on a particular date. Showtimes listed here are set times, not the time doors open – if a listing says something like “9ish,” that means it’ll probably start later than advertised. Many different genres to choose from here, something for everyone. If this calendar seems short on praise for bands and artists, it’s because every act here is recommended if you like their particular style of music.


This is not a list of every show in town – it’s a carefully handpicked selection. There’s a comprehensive, recently updated list of places where these shows are happening at New York Music Daily’s sister blog Lucid Culture. New May-June calendar (a work in progress) here.
