Webster Hall is officially set to reopen in April with some big names.
Back in August 2017, the East Village and countless NYU undergrads lost one of their biggest music venues: Webster Hall. After a social media tease on New Year’s Eve that the venue would be back sometime in 2019, they’ve now provided some more specifics: The doors will officially be reopening in late April.
The famed concert hall was shuttered as it switched ownership to corporate conglomerate AEG. Now, after extensive renovations, it’s set to reopen with a stacked lineup this spring. Following an opening night in April, Patti Smith and Her Band will perform on May 1. (You can check out the full announced lineup below)
According to the Times, changes at the venue include a new lounge in the former Marlin Room, additional doors that open onto the street and more acoustic treatments being added to the walls. Also, new bathrooms!
The basement space, The Studio at Webster Hall, is set to return as well with more details on that to come.
