Top Venues in New York City

When looking for top events in the city, it’s also a good idea to check out the major venues and look at their upcoming concerts and shows. New York has all types of venues that cater to all vibes from the Brooklyn grunge of Kings Theatre to the classic feeling of Radio City to energetic arenas like Yankee Stadium. Here, we list the top New York City venues for all types of events.

Madison Square Garden

Arguably one of the most popular venues in the city, MSG is known for hosting some of the biggest names in music. It’s also home to the New York Rangers, New York Knicks, and New York Liberty. Once you’ve decided on the Madison Square Garden event you’re going to, check out our detailed and interactive Madison Square Garden Seating Chart.

MetLife Stadium

Technically MetLife Stadium is in New Jersey, but that’s just because it’s nearly impossible to put a stadium as massive as this one in the city. It’s home to both the New York Giants and New York Jets, but it also hosts most of the biggest musical artists that tour. We have a detailed MetLife Stadium Seating Chart once you’re ready to buy tickets.

Jones Beach State Park

Jones Beach Theater is one of the most scenic options when looking for New York City events. As the name suggests, it’s on the beach and hosts some popular outdoor concerts every spring and summer.
