Irving Plaza

Live music is officially back in NYC: The Strokes heralded its return, playing the first show at Irving Plaza on Saturday night (6/12) since the venue shut down for renovations pre-COVID, in 2019.

The Strokes already played a virtual benefit for the Democratic NYC mayoral candidate, and now they’ve announced one in person. You’ll need to be vaccinated to attend.

The BrooklynVegan presale for the initial lineup of the newly renovated Irving Plaza runs today from 10 AM – 10 PM Eastern.

Having released four albums since they last toured a year-and-a-half ago, Guided by Voices will finally head back on the road for shows this summer and fall…

After renovations and the pandemic, Irving Plaza is finally reopening this summer and their initial lineup of shows include Guided by Voices, Princess Nokia, City Morgue, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Lemonheads, and more.

Iconic NYC venue Irving Plaza is closing for eight months for renovations starting early this summer, and this is one of your last chances to hang out inside before that.
