When were the VMAs last hosted in NYC?
The last time the VMAs were hosted in New York was in 2021 at Barclays Center. However, the very first VMAs actually took place at Radio City Music Hall in 1984. The 2024 VMAs marks the 40th anniversary since its debut, and there’s no better location than its state of origin to host the event.
Beyond Radio City Music Hall and Barclays Center, the VMAs has graced other NYC venues such as The Palladium, the Metropolitan Opera House, and Madison Square Garden.
NYC already celebrated music’s big event last weekend with a *free* VMAS Block Party in Domino Park.
