New York's Terminal 5 has long been one of the best places to see live independent music in the city. Thousands of fans can pack into the building for a show - and yet Terminal 5 continues to foster a reputation for intimate music experiences. Whether you're looking for rock, hip-hop, electronic acts or folksy singer-songwriters, you'll find something you like here. That's why concert tickets sell so fast.
Terminal 5 is run by The Bower Presents, known for their ownership of a number of other renowned music venues, including The Mercury Lounge, The Music Hall of Williamsburg and, of course, The Bowery Ballroom. Terminal 5 is one more addition to their fantastic empire of alternative music spots. Check it out on any given week, and you could see a classic act like Guided By Voices or a revolutionary pop act like M.I.A.
Terminal 5 is a bit of a contradiction. It's too big to be a hole-in-the-wall rock club, but too small to be an arena. But it manages to walk this balancing act carefully. Visit one of the multiple floors to get a better vantage point and see your favorite artists play live. Visit one of the multiple bars. No matter what your taste, you'll find it satisfied here - so get concert tickets while you still can.
