Rock Bands from Everywhere Descend This Week on NYC

Trey Anastasio, photographed above performing with Trey Anastasio and Classic TAB at Brooklyn Steel in 2024, will be among the many artists participating in the Love Rocks NYC charity benefit at the Beacon Theatre this Thursday

The Manhattan Beat regularly lists the best live music events coming to the New York City area. The twice-weekly guide also celebrates via photographs some of the musicians who have performed locally in the past few days.

Thanks in large part to the Tibet House US benefit, the Love Rocks NYC benefit and the New Colossus Festival, Manhattan will be buzzing this week with good live music from all over the world. Everynight Charley recommends the following 80+ concerts in New York City this week. Consult the web site or social media of the venue for more information about a show, including location and directions, parking, ticket availability, show times, age restrictions, and COVID compliance.
