Venue #16: Irving Plaza!

Happy Monday! (Or at least we hope you've had a good Monday.) 


For those who had the chance to see the boys in New Orleans this past weekend, it looked like a fun (and chilly) time! Today we wanted to feature a rather popular venue, that has a lot of great history and will appeal to everyone of all ages. Today, let's check out: Irving Plaza!


We're hoping to wrap up NYC within the next week or so, so stay tuned as we venture out to some new and exciting venues! (And if you know of any we should consider, let us know so we can feature it here!)


Remember, if you like a venue or have any questions/comments for us, please don't hesitate to contact us at BringBDtoEC@gmail.com and let us know what you think! (Please let us know, we want the boys here just as much as you do!)

Have a great week!

History:

Irving Plaza originally opened as Irving Hall in 1860 as a home for balls, lectures, and concerts. The present, rebuilt structure opened in 1888 and spent the next 90 years finding its identity, transitioning from a German Theatre to a burlesque house, Yiddish theatre, French and Soviet film house, and Polish Army Vet community center.

In 1978, Irving Plaza was converted into a rock music venue and has since hosted acts such as Talking Heads, the Ramones, U2, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, establishing its history as New York City’s premier music venue. Today, Irving Plaza continues to be a major stepping stone on the career path of hundreds of artists every year.
