Past NYC Concerts — Why We Keep Them Live

When a show ends, the venue guide, seating breakdown, transit information, and neighborhood context that goes with it doesn’t stop being useful. If you’re planning a future concert at Madison Square Garden and want to know what the floor was like for a specific kind of show, a past page tells you more than a spec sheet will. If you’re looking for information about a show you attended, the guide stays live as a reference.

Every show in this archive has its own page. The event-specific details — dates, showtime, tickets — are marked as past. The venue information, seating advice, and night-out planning content stays current and accurate. Use these pages to research venues before booking future shows at the same rooms.

For shows currently on sale or coming up, see the current concert show guides. For venue-specific planning, the NYC concert venue guides cover every major room in detail.

All Past NYC Concert Shows

Every show we covered, organized by date — most recent first. Each entry links to the full show guide with venue details, seating breakdown, transit advice, and what the experience was like at that specific room.

Past Shows by Venue

Researching a specific arena before buying tickets for an upcoming show? Past show guides for that venue are the most useful reference you’ll find — they cover what the seating actually felt like, how transit worked, where people ate beforehand, and what the arena experience was like for that type of show. Use the filter above or browse by venue below.

Why past show pages are useful for future planning

Every show page includes a full seating guide for that venue, transit directions, neighborhood context, and dining recommendations. That information stays accurate long after the show has passed. If you’re trying to decide between floor and lower bowl at MSG for an upcoming show, a past MSG page tells you more than any venue diagram will.

FAQ: Concert Archive

Why do past concert show pages stay live?
The venue information, seating breakdowns, transit directions, and neighborhood guides on each show page remain accurate and useful long after the show has passed. If you’re researching what Barclays Center is like for a hip-hop show before buying tickets for an upcoming event, a past show page from the same venue gives you real information that no spec sheet provides. We keep past pages live because they’re genuinely useful references — not just for nostalgia.
Where can I find information about past NYC concerts?
This archive page lists every past show we’ve covered with links to individual show guides. Each guide includes venue details, seating notes, transit information, and what the experience was like. For venue-specific history, the individual venue guide pages also reference notable past shows as context.
Are the seating guides on past show pages still accurate?
Yes. The venue layout, section numbering, sightline notes, and transit directions don’t change between shows. A lower bowl guide for Barclays Center written for a 2026 pop show is still an accurate reference for any future show in the same room. We note where floor configurations might vary by production.
How do I find current NYC concert shows?
See the current concert show guides for upcoming and active shows, and the NYC concerts hub for the full calendar overview. The venue guides also list currently announced shows for each arena.
Which NYC concert venues hosted the most archived shows?
As of July 2026, the archive includes five closed shows: JAY-Z at Yankee Stadium (Jul 10–12), Benson Boone at Barclays Center (Jul 10–11), Yungblud at Radio City Music Hall (Jun 10), Kid Cudi at Madison Square Garden (May 30), and Diljit Dosanjh at Madison Square Garden (May 24–25). The archive grows throughout the season as major shows conclude — Ariana Grande, Bon Jovi, Phish, BTS, Ed Sheeran, and others will be added once their dates have actually passed.
What is the best NYC concert venue for a major touring act?
It depends on the scale of the show. Madison Square Garden is the default answer for arena-size acts — the building’s history and atmosphere are unmatched. Barclays Center is often the better choice for shows where the slightly more intimate bowl configuration works in your favor. Radio City and the Beacon Theatre are the right rooms for mid-size acts where you want genuine connection to the performance. See the Best Concert Venues in NYC guide for a full comparison.
