Our list brings you the absolute best, the biggest names in music, the premier concerts well worth getting on the train for.
Yves Tumor at Terminal 5
October 4th
Earlier this year, Yves Tumor announced their upcoming new album Praise A Lord Who Chews But Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds). The record, which arrived mid-March, followed 2020’s Heaven to a Tortured Mind and featured production from Noah Goldstein and mixing by Alan Moulder.
Fans will have the opportunity to hear Hot Between Worlds this fall at Terminal 5. Tumor’s headlining tour will take them across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom until late this year.
Japanese Breakfast at Radio City Music Hall
October 5
We were ecstatic to hear Michelle Zauner’s Japanese Breakfast would be touring the U.S after their dates in Europe wrapped up. The band continues to tour behind 2021’s Jubilee, a now landmark album that spurred the singles “Be Sweet” and “Kokomo, IN.”
We can’t wait for Japanese Breakfast to take the Radio City Music Hall stage. They will be supported by opener Ichiko Aoba.
Brothers Osborne at The Rooftop at Pier 17
October 5
Last month, American country music duo Brothers Osborne dropped their new fourth studio album. The pair took this album as an opportunity to reintroduce themselves, in the spirit of openness and renewal, and self-titled their newest LP.
Brothers Osborne comes after 2020’s Skeletons. Since then, both TJ and John came out about their personal lives, sexuality, and struggles with mental health. “It’s a new start in that we’re trying new things, trying new sounds — but it’s also a late start that between recording our last album, my brother and I have disclosed a lot of personal things,” John says. “I feel like it gave us the courage to lean further into ourselves and not play it safe.”
SZA at Barclays Center
October 6
We’re finally at the North American Fall Leg of SZA‘s “S.O.S Tour.” SZA is rounding out her NYC shows with a performance at Barclays. We are happy for all fans who’ve had the chance to see SZA dazzle on her “S.O.S Tour.” But we are extremely excited for those who will catch her this month at Barclays.
Who will serve as the opening acts for SZA at Barclays? For most of SZA’s September and October dates, D4vd will serve as the opener. But we see D4vd has been specially removed from the bill for her Barclays shows. Which super special guest is set to join SZA in Brooklyn this month? We can’t wait to see who it is.
Nick Cave at Beacon Theatre
October 7
This month, Nick Cave will bring his solo tour to NYC’s Beacon Theatre. Joined only by his piano and Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood. Offering “reduced” versions of 23 songs, the duo still manage vulnerability, beauty, and synchronicity on stage.
Digging into several discographies, including the Bad Seeds canon, Cave and Greenwood are performing stunning renditions of songs such as “Jesus In The Moon,” “Into My Arms,” and “Oh Children.” This Nick Cave Solo Tour is definitely one you cannot miss if you’re a fan of either Nick Cave or Greenwood.
Ty Dolla $ign at Brooklyn Steel
October 8
Following the release of his single “Motion,” Ty Dolla $ign announced the “More Motion Less Emotion” Tour. The trip kicked off last month, and will feature openers Symba and Leon Thomas.
Ty Dolla $ign will be stopping at Brooklyn Steel for his NYC stop. We think this could be the best rap concert in NYC this month. Who will Ty Dolla $ign bring out, additionally, to join him on stage at Brooklyn Steel? The possibilities are endless.
Eric Nam at The Rooftop at Pier 17
October 11
Born in the U.S, now based in South Korea, the singer and TV personality Eric Nam is getting ready for a massive world tour which will stop at NYC’s Rooftop at Pier 17. According to press releases, Nam’s “House On A Hill” Tour is about much more than just the music.
Nam is touring in support of his forthcoming album, House On A Hill. According to the performer, the album is sort of speaking to the artist’s own existential crises, an attempt to answer some of the unanswerable questions. For this upcoming tour, Nam will be joined by special guests Alexander Stewart, Jamie Miller, Alex Porat, Gracey and Keenan Te on select dates.
Little Simz at Brooklyn Steel
October 12
British-Nigerian rapper Little Simz will embark on a limited, 10-date tour this fall. Luckily, Little Simz fans in NYC will have a chance to see her at none other than Brooklyn Steel.
The North American Tour comes in support of her most recently released LP, No Thank You. Little Simz was originally scheduled to tour the U.S last year, in support of Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, but was forced to cancel. Little Simz being able to perform for her U.S fans has been a long time coming, and we are stoked it’s finally here.
SBTRKT at Brooklyn Steel
October 14
English musician and record producer Aaron Jerome, professionally known as SBTRKT, will hit Brooklyn Steel this month on his three-city tour. The limited run of dates come in support of his new album, The Rat Road.
Not only is this an extremely limited run of shows, SBTRKT will be performing in NYC for the first time in eight years. Fans of SBTRKT, this is definitely a must-see, once-in-a-lifetime show.
Thundercat at Brooklyn Mirage
October 17
Grammy award-winning musician, and oft-sought collaborator Thundercat is now on his “In Yo Girl’s City” Tour. Thundercat’s NYC stop will be the elusive Brooklyn Mirage, the perfectly cool setting for the uniquely genre-less musician.
From covers, to collabs, to special unreleased material, Thundercat’s “In Yo Girl’s City” setlists are turning out to be one of a kind masterpieces. Get excited, because Thundercat is “In Yo Girl’s City” this fall.
Daniel Caesar at Madison Square Garden
October 17
Fans, get ready, because Daniel Caesar is getting ready to bring his new album to NYC. Daniel Caesar is set to perform one of the city’s biggest stages, Madison Square Garden, with openers Omar Apollo and Montell Fish. This stop is one of many on Caesar’s “Superpowers” World Tour.
Daniel Caesar is touring in support of his new album, NEVER ENOUGH, which arrived earlier this year.
Jessie Ware at Terminal 5
October 20
This fall, get ready to party with English singer/ songwriter Jessie Ware. The artist’s headlining tour will be touching down at NYC’s Terminal 5, the perfect venue for her high-pop energy.
Jessie Ware is touring in support of her latest album, That! Feels! Good! The record arrived back in April, and was led by the singles “Free Yourself,” “Pearls,” and “Begin Again.”
Depeche Mode at Barclays Center
October 21
English electronic rock band Depeche Mode will take over Barclays Center this fall as part of their “Memento Mori” World Tour. Depeche Mode will be joined by DIIV, who’ve served as openers for most of the “Memento Mori” World Tour.
Promoting their fifteenth studio album, Memento Mori, Depeche Mode are continuing on as a duo for the first time since last year’s death of keyboardist Andy Fletcher. But according to recent concert reviews, the band mourns but does not fall short on stage. In fact, Memento Mori has served as a glorious conduit of grief, emotion, and belonging between Depeche Mode and their fans.
My Morning Jacket at Beacon Theatre
October 21
Did you know it’s about to be the 20th anniversary of the My Morning Jacket album It Still Moves? For this upcoming run of MMJ tour dates, the Jim James led band will be performing It Still Moves in its entirety. Fans will be guaranteed to hear revitalized versions of “Mahgeetah,” “Golden,” and “Run Thru.”
My Morning Jacket will bring their It Still Moves Anniversary show to the iconic Beacon Theatre at the end of this month for what will be three incredible nights of performance.
Joji & Kenny Beats at Barclays Center
October 27
The artist Joji has worn many hats since his entering fame, but now he’s on a more serious try for R&B. Fresh off his “SMITHEREENS” Tour, Joji is now getting ready for the “PANDEMONIUM” Tour with Kenny Beats, Lil Toe, and SAVAGEREALM.
Fans are still reeling from last year’s SMITHEREENS, his third album and third to reach the top five on the Billboard 200 chart. The album also features “Glimpse Of Us,” his first top-10 single. We can’t wait to hear the sounds to come, and what PANDEMONIUM will bring.
Reneé Rapp at Terminal 5
October 30
Rising actress and singer Reneé Rapp will come to NYC this fall to perform the Terminal 5 stage. She is bringing her “Snow Hard Feelings” Tour, promoting her most recent album Snow Angel.
Pop and rock fused, with a rap and R&B edge, Reneé Rapp continues to surprise her fans with her unique artistic sensibility. We can’t wait to hear Snow Angel live at Terminal 5.
Tinashe at Terminal 5
November 1
We are stoked there will be so many female rappers performing in NYC this month. The trend continues with Tinashe and Shygirl at Terminal 5. The duo announced their co-headlining tour back in August, and will be hitting major U.S cities through the fall.
BB/Ang3l, the latest LP from Tinashe, arrived just last month. It was led by the single “Talk To Me Nice.”
Dope Lemon at Brooklyn Steel
November 4
Australian indie artist Dope Lemon will be touching down at Brooklyn Steel this fall. The show is part of a limited, national tour in support of his fourth studio album, the recently released Kimosabè.
Dope Lemon’s new album is the first in which he reveals the man behind the moniker. His previous releases kept him disguised behind the persona’s artwork. “This record is everything that’s me,” Angus Stone (Dope Lemon) said. “In the past, the artwork has been anonymous in a way because I was trying to explore these styles, and having this shield in front of me was beautiful – I could sort of slink around in the shadows and wouldn’t have the public make judgement on the person behind it.
Kimosabè follows 2021’s Rose Pink Cadillac, which peaked at No. 1 on the ARIA Vinyl and Album Chart, and was crowned as triple j’s Feature Album the following year.
6LACK at Hammerstein Ballroom
November 5
It’s already turning out to be a huge year for 6LACK and his fans. Last month, 6LACK shared two new songs, one with singer/songwriter and longtime friend Jessie Reyez. The Reyez-assisted track, “Homicide,” is a brilliant showcase of both artists and their friendship. The track comes after the release of 6LACK’s new album, Since I Have A Lover.
Now, 6LACK is on the “Since I Have A Lover” Tour. This fall, he will perform at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom for what will be one of the best rap concerts all month.
Flo Milli at Terminal 5
November 6
It’s about to be an amazing month in NYC for rap concerts, continuing on with Flo Milli at Terminal 5. The Alabama rapper has already announced her second album, Fine Ho, Stay, is on the way. Now, we are getting ready to see her on the “Thanks For Coming Here, Ho” North American Tour.
Flo Milli will be joined by Brooklyn’s own Maiya the Don for most “Thanks For Coming Here, Ho” Tour Dates. We absolutely can’t wait for what other surprises happen during her Terminal 5 concert.
Sampha at Webster Hall
November 7
The English singer and producer Sampha is set to take over Webster Hall while on tour to promote his forthcoming album. Sampha’s new album Lahai, which follows his 2017 debut Process, has been led by the singles “Spirit 2.0” and “Only.”
Lahai is due out October 20th. The 14-track LP will feature appearances from Yaeji, Léa Sen, Sheila Maurice Grey (Kokoroko), Ibeyi, Morgan Simpson (Black Midi), Yussef Dayes, Laura Groves, and Kwake Bass. Sampha’s tour will kick off October 12th with a three-date London residency at Hackney Church.
The Front Bottoms at Terminal 5
November 10
The Front Bottoms just finished celebrating the 10th anniversary of Talon of the Hawk. Not long after, they announced the second and third legs of their tour supporting their upcoming album You Are Who You Hang Out With.
The “You Are Who You Hang Out With” Tour will hit Terminal 5 this fall, with support from Slothrust.
Rod Wave at Barclays Center
November 11
Last month, rapper and singer Rod Wave released his fifth studio album Nostalgia. The record vacillates between slow song and banger, sometimes within the same track. Nostalgia, for those adequately listening, further proves the unique genius of Rod Wave.
Now, the artist is getting ready for what will definitely be one of the largest shows of his career. Rod Wave, and his “Nostalgia Tour,” will take Barclays Center mid-November. Rod Wave’s “Nostalgia Tour” special guests include Ari Lennox, G. Herbo, Toosii and Eelmatic. We don’t know who, specifically, will join Rod Wave at Barclays, but we anticipate it will be an epic guest list.
Taking Back Sunday at Bowery Ballroom
November 13
Emo-alternative rock band Taking Back Sunday will hit the Bowery Ballroom stage this month in support of their forthcoming studio album, 152. The record, named after the section of road in North Carolina that has been referenced on all of their album covers, is due out Oct. 27, just ahead of their NYC show date.
So far, Taking Back Sunday has released two new singles: “S’Old” and “The One.” Both are heavy-hitting, anthemic rock songs and have more than managed to amp their fans up for their upcoming release. We can’t wait to hear it live, at Bowery Ballroom.
Bob Dylan at Kings Theatre
November 14
For those who didn’t already know, Hall of Fame singer and songwriter Bob Dylan has been on his “Rough and Rowdy Ways” Tour for a couple years now. This month, “Rough and Rowdy” will hit Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre for what will be an incredible homecoming performance.
The “Rough and Rowdy Ways” Tour will continue from now through 2024, bringing Bob Dylan in front of thousands of fans to reprise one of the most outstanding careers there has ever been.
The 1975 at Madison Square Garden
November 15
This month, alt-pop band The 1975 will bring their “Still… At Their Very Best” Tour to Madison Square Garden. According to recent news headlines, this could be the final tour from The 1975 for an indefinite while.
The 1975’s current tour comes in support of their fifth studio album Being Funny In A Foreign Language. The poster featured a crumpled frontman Matt Healy wearing a white lab coat, his hands thrown up in surrender. Will this really be the final tour from The 1975? When it comes to Healy, we can believe anything.
