NYC Concert Show Archive
Past shows, venue guides, seating notes, and what every concert was like — organized by venue and date. Everything stays live.
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.
Browse past and upcoming concert-show guides across New York City’s biggest stages, arenas, and music venues.
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.
