Built in 2007, the multi-function Newark, NJ, arena is just a short train or car ride from Manhattan and worth the trip for its top-tier bookings. The venue regularly presents concerts by a variety of pop and rock megastars, on the order of Bruce Springsteen and Fleetwood Mac, giving the area's other big stages like the Garden and Barclays Center a run for their money.
A consummate pro, J.T. mixes Sinatra’s swagger and charisma with the airtight funk of Michael Jackson at his peak. Though the former NSYNC member’s last few albums haven’t quite lived up to the rest of his catalog, he’s still adept at making magic on stage night after night (especially when with an accompanying big band).
Californian megastar Billie Eilish heads out on an epic, multi-continent-spanning tour to tout her new album “Hit Me Hard and Soft”. Glimpse her mix of magnetic and ethereal pop that's seen her bag nine Grammys, three Brit Awards, two Golden Globes and a couple of Oscars. Wowsers.
In any discussion of rock acts that have improved with age, English heavy-metal institution Iron Maiden has to come in somewhere near the top. Even if Bruce Dickinson can't hit the same screeching high notes of his prime (cut him some slack, the guy overcame tongue cancer), he deploys his resources for maximum impact, something that could be said equally for his restless bandmates.
