  • Rock and indie

The tireless jam band has played the venue upwards up 50 times, making it part of an elite club that includes Billy Joel, Elton John and the Grateful Dead. Couple that level of experience with the outfit's notoriously eye-popping shows and you're basically guaranteed to enjoy your trip at—um, we mean to the Garden.

  • Folk, country and blues

Known for his involvement in the Vaporwave scene, George Clanton’s take on electronic music and ambient beats will bring you into the new year moving your feet. The artist —and founder of record label 100% Electronica—is taking over the Bowery Ballroom come Dec. 31 for an unforgettable performance and entrance into 2023!

Toast the New Year with Warren Haynes's regular gig (when he’s not strumming with the Allman Brothers or various members of the Grateful Dead). The band's powerful Southern rock, rooted in Haynes’s soulful, blues-tinged growl and first-rate guitar-playing, never fails to move. The outfit takes pains to perform markedly different sets at each outing, so even if you've caught its New Year's run at the Beacon before, expect to hear some firsts.

Flying Lotus’ instrumental, upbeat and totally danceable sounds have led to the success of six studio albums, featuring collaborators like Thom Yorke, Erykah Badu, David Lynch, and longtime friend Thundercat. This New Year’s Eve you can catch the artist doing a live set at Webster Hall accompanied by Matthew Dear.
