"The Music Hall of Williamsburg, the beloved 650-capacity venue that helped define North Brooklyn's modern concert scene, will lose its lease at the end of 2026 and may be forced to relocate or close altogether. The news comes via an internal memo from Bowery Presents co-partners Jim Glancy and John Moore, and later confirmed by multiple outlets. According to the memo, the owners of the building at 66 North Sixth Street have opted not to renew the venue's lease."
"Since opening in 2007, taking over the space formerly known as Northsix, the Music Hall of Williamsburg has been a rite of passage for artists on the cusp of something bigger. It's where future headliners played sweaty, unforgettable sets before graduating to arenas and where established stars dropped in for famously intimate underplays. Over the years, the venue has hosted everyone from Kendrick Lamar, Harry Styles and Coldplay."
Music Hall of Williamsburg will lose its lease at the end of 2026 and may be forced to relocate or close. The owners of the building at 66 North Sixth Street opted not to renew the venue's lease, and the property was sold earlier this month. The 650-capacity venue opened in 2007 in the former Northsix space and became a rite of passage for ascending artists and a site for intimate underplays by established stars. The room has hosted Kendrick Lamar, Coldplay, Harry Styles, Tame Impala, St. Vincent, The Weeknd, Robyn, Tyler, the Creator and Phoebe Bridgers. Shows will continue through the end of 2026, and the future of the Music Hall brand remains unclear.
