Irving Plaza has been a NYC landmark since 1978, presenting iconic artists and emerging talent across all genres for more than 50 years. From punk to alternative, indie to hip-hop, rock to pop, the venue has been a must-play stop on tours and for special performances, including Sir Paul McCartney, The Foo Fighters, U2, Green Day, Ariana Grande, The Ramones, Nine Inch Nails, Childish Gambino, Katy Perry, Eminem, Nas, and many others.
Its location, one block east of Union Square adds to its convenience and charm. Guests enter through an expanded lobby to the legendary music hall with polished wooden floors, crystal chandeliers and a fixed stage. A U-shaped balcony with fantastic sight-lines overlooks the dance floor. The main floor features a full-service bar at the back of the hall. The Balcony Lounge is the perfect setting for a cocktail reception with a rock and roll edge. Production elements include state-of-the-art lighting, sound and video.
