17 Irving Place, New York, NY 10003

Irving Plaza sits just off Union Square in Manhattan, a ballroom-style room with the worn glamour of a building that has been many things. The structure traces back to mid-19th-century brownstones knitted into a hotel, took its name in a 1927 renovation, served the Polish Army Veterans Association as a community hall, and finally turned rock venue in 1978. At around 1,000 to 1,200 capacity, it has long been one of New York's defining mid-size stages, the rung between the clubs and the theatres. The guest list is the stuff of downtown legend. Blondie and Talking Heads played here in the early days, and the room has since hosted the improbable spectacle of stadium acts choosing to play small: Paul McCartney, U2, Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam and the Red Hot Chili Peppers among them, alongside The Strokes and The White Stripes when they were the future. Closed for refurbishment in 2019, it reopened in August 2021, still doing what it always has.
