New York concert tickets

Caustic wit, witchy charisma and fearless queer wisdom have made Justin Vivian Bond one of New York’s essential performers. Now the alt-cabaret star, trans icon and McArthur "Genius" Grantee returns to her frequent roost at Joe’s Pub for a two-week engagement with a solstice show to melt the hearts of snowflakes everywhere, joined by a five-piece band led by musical director David Sytkowski.

This annual international-music showcase takes over three stages with represented genres including Cambodian, Moroccan, Spanish Flamenco, Ukrainian, Tropical Latin and much more. This year's lineup includes: Al-Qasar, Dale Watson & his Lone Stars, David Rivera & La Bámbula, Maria Mazzotta, Nidia Góngora, Raiatea Helm, The Naghash Ensemble, Vopli Vidopliassova and more.  This year is the 23rd anniversary of GlobalFEST, which will happen across three stages at Lincoln Center’s newly-renovated David Geffen Hall on Sunday, January 11 as part of Lincoln Center Presents. GlobaFEST's mission is to encourage attendees and artists to network and build a global network as well as deepen cultural understanding—a mission that resonates particuarily strongly these days.

New York is burnin' up for the JoBros. The Jonas Brothers are bringing Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour with Jesse McCartney, Franklin Jonas & Deleasa to UBS Arena on December 21 and Barclays Center on December 22, 2025. Tickets are now on sale, and it's highly recommended that you buy them in advance, since the band is celebrating the milestone with large crowds and iconic special guests, including Jordin Sparks, JoJo, 5 Seconds of Summer, Jason Mraz and more.

The comedic chanteuse Catherine Cohen has delighted NYC audiences for years, whether in her weekly Cabernet Cabaret show at Club Cumming or cohosting the hilarious weekly hang podcast, Seek Treatment, with Pat Regan. Now she returns to Joe's Pub—where she filmed her 2022 Netflix special, The Twist...? She's Gorgeous—with a new night of subversive songs, fabulous looks and self-directed diva worship. Expect a few numbers from her 2024 album, Overdressed.

PJ Adzima, who currently plays the hopeful but hopelessly repressed Elder McKinley in Broadway's The Book of Mormon, hosts a neovaudevillian monthly variety show at the Slipper Room that proffers an eclectic mix of musical-theater, comedy, drag, circus and burlesque performances. A down-and-dirtier version of the show also plays there every week on Saturdays at midnight.

A Fabergé radical—beautiful, ridiculous and full of hidden tricks—the sublimely freakish Mac pilots audiences through fantastical journeys, guided by the compass of his magnetic individuality. In the culmination of a five-year project, the writer-performer surveyed the past 250 years of American music in a 24-hour marathon that was immediately hailed as a history-making event in and of itself. In this touring holiday show, with help from costume designer Machine Dazzle and music director Matt Ray, the 2017 MacArthur Fellow sleighs it with Christmas songs.

The longtime New York entertainer, drag performer and political activist Marti Gould Cummings hosts a new weekly late-night talk show at Red Eye, joined by different guests from the theater world each week and Yaz Fukuoka at the piano. The series kicks off this month with an impressive roster of interviewees: Broadway soprano Ali Ewoldt (April 2), songwriters Stephen Trask and Our Lady J (April 9), musical comedian Cat Cohen (April 16), silver-voiced leading lady Melissa Errico (April 23) and masked country star turned Cabaret emcee Orville Peck (April 30).

Three Birdland mainstays—the clarion-voiced Klea Blackhurst, the waggish host Jim Caruso and the velvety pianist-crooner Billy Stritch—get into the swing of the holiday season with their 16th annual set of set of jazzy Christmas classics.

He’s worked with Liza Minnelli, Kylie Minogue and just about every downtown act in NYC. Now composer, pianist and performer Lance Horne hosts his own wild night of singing, drinking and dancing, strip-teasing and bad behavior at the East Village nightlife hub Club Cumming. Expect advanced show-tune geekery and appearances by Broadway stars looking to get down by the piano. Plan to sleep in on Tuesday.

When Forbidden Broadway alum Christine Pedi draws from her deep reservoir of celebrity vocal impressions, she shines brightly as a star in her own right. This month, she roasts holiday chestnuts by Liza Minnelli, Ethel Merman, Julie Andrews and more; her astonishing “12 Divas of Christmas” alone is worth the price of admission.
