Best NYC concerts in March 2025

  • Music

GloRilla is beloved for her lyrical prowress just as much as she is for her Memphis drawl, and although we've loved her for years, she just released her first album, Glorious, last year. Now, she's going on tour and making a stopover at Hammerstein Ballroom on March 19. The best part? The tickets are relatively affordable, at a cool $126 for floor tickets as of this writing.

  • Music

Colombian artist J Balvin has been key in spreading raggaeton and Latin dance music globally. With six Latin Grammys under his belt and dozens of hits—including Mi Gente, In da Getto, and many others—J Balvin's cultural impact is inescapable. Catch him in concert on March 30 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for a concert that's sure to shake the stadium.

When Lizzo took over the music industry in the late 2010s, many knew she'd be a force to be reckoned with: Not only was she an iconic lyricist, but her mean flute skills were a refreshing addition to the self seriousness of many pop stars at the time.

Lizzo dropped her fifth and latest studio alubm, Love in Real Life, in February and is returning to the stage for the first time since 2023. Catch her at Irving Plaza near Union Square on March 16.

JoJo became a global phenom when she released her debut single "Leave (Get Out)" in 2004 at just 12 years old. Just as she was set to take over the music world, disputes with her label delayed—and some argue, ruined—any possibility of her future stardom. JoJo refused to give up music, though, and she just released an album in January 2025 called NGL, this time with an entirely new album. We were all rooting for her, and now we can do so in person at Terminal 5 on March 29.

Mumford & Sons, the British folk rock band that first landed on the scene back in 2007, announced that their first new album in seven years, Rushmere, will officially be released on March 28.

Ahead of the drop, the band will play a nine-date intimate theater tour across the U.K., Europe, Australia and North America that will conclude at the Brooklyn Paramount on March 26. The presale for the band's official fan community, called Agora, will kick off this Thursday at 10am right here. General public on sale, on the other hand, will open the day after, on February 14, at 10am EST.

The 50 best uses of songs in movies
Colloquially, it used to be called the "needle drop"—when a Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino picked a piece of preexisting music and laid it down under a dramatic scene, with seismic results. We've thumbed through our stacks of wax (i.e., Blu-ray collections) to collect cinema's most potent examples, allowing for iconic uses of classical music and jazz along with the expected pop hits. One parameter, though: no songs composed for the movie itself. (Sorry, Simple Minds.) The result is our most toe-tapping list to date. But do let us know if we've left out your favorite jam.
