Live Music in NYC for the End of March

Judas Priest at Prudential Center in 2018; the band returns there this week

Judas Priest, Maxwell, Nick Cave & Warren Ellis, Snoh Aalegra, Sparks, Car Seat Headrest, Brian Jonestown Massacre, M. Ward , Skip Marley, the Score, Low and the English Beat are among the familiar names performing in the New York City area this week. MammothWVH, Dirty Honey, Boy Harsher, and Christone "Kingfish" Ingram are among the buzz acts who will be visiting area stages. Dozens of equally promising local talent will play the smaller bars and music venues.
