It might be freezing outside but February in NYC doesn’t slow down—it just gets louder, bolder, and way more interesting.
From arena-filling superstars and intimate theater shows to underground dance nights and members-only jazz experiences, this month’s concert lineup hits every corner of the city’s music scene.
Whether you’re craving folk rock at MSG, euphoric techno in Queens, or candlelit orchestras for Valentine’s season, these are the NYC concerts worth building your February plans around.
Brandi Carlile
Folk rock singer-songwriter and 11-time Grammy winner Brandi Carlile will play Madison Square Garden this month, in support of her newest album Returning to Myself, which released last October.
Special guest The Head & The Heart will serve as support!
Miguel
R&B singer Miguel is playing a special theater show in NYC this month in support of his 2025 effort CAOS, his first studio album since 2017.
The Grammy-winning singer aims to “deliver a show that bridges eras and showcases his evolution as a performer and creator,” according to a release announcing the tour.
Jean Dawson is going to serve as support!
Secret NYC’s members-only club is hosting an exclusive VIP jazz night at The Jazz Room inside Sony Hall, one of the city’s most glamorous hidden venues.
Expect world-class live jazz, speakeasy-era vibes, early entry, a complimentary drink, and prime VIP seating—all in a chandelier-filled space that feels straight out of old New Orleans.
It’s a one-night-only, insider-style concert experience designed for music lovers who want something a little more special than a standard show.
A Boogie Wit da Hoodie
Bronx native and diamond-certified artist A Boogie wit da Hoodie is playing a buzzing homecoming show at one of the city’s most iconic venues this month, Radio City Music Hall.
He’s set to celebrate 10 years as a recording artist, playing tracks across his catalogue: from the recently released “Last Drink” to his diamond-certified Kodak Black collab “Drowning.”
What a night for the hometown kid!
Franky Rizardo
Dutch house titan and Ibiza-regular Franky Rizardo brings his personal event series “FLOW” to New York City for its biggest version yet.
With help from NYC-based events producer Gray Area, the winner of the 2025 DJ Award for Breakthrough Artist is set to throw down a groovy night of tech and minimal house that will have you feeling like you’re in Amsterdam.
He’s tapped some eye-catching, up-and-coming talent as well for openers: Jay de Lys, Ms. Mada, and more.
Mariah the Scientist
Fresh off releasing her new Hearts Sold Separately album last August, Mariah The Scientist is set to play Radio City Music Hall for a very special performance.
Can’t make her show? She’s also slated to perform at this year’s Governors Ball Music Festival in June.
Valentine’s Day is this month, and Candlelight Concerts might just be the most romantic live experience you can get this month.
Each concert features an orchestra playing hits from whatever theme it is that evening. It can range from “Tribute to Adele” to “90s Hip-Hop on Strings.”
Yandel
Reggaetón star Yandel is set to play Radio City Music Hall this February with support from special guest Alex Sensation.
He recently released his latest album Sinfónico last year.
KI/KI
Appearing at Knockdown Center’s WIRE Festival and selling out The Ruins last summer, rising trance and acid techno KI/KI returns to KDC’s main hall to play a very anticipated (and her largest in NYC) headlining set.
Reshaping the genres of techno with her melodic, euphoric tracks and embracing stage presence, she’s set to deliver an evening of dance music that will transport you back to the sound of ’90s and early 2000s raves.
A high-energy, cinematic K-Pop concert hits The Cutting Room this month, reimagining iconic anthems with a live band, fresh arrangements, and Broadway-level vocals.
Performed by Korean Broadway stars, TikTok favorites, and film & TV talent, the show blends hits like BTS’ “Dynamite,” BLACKPINK’s “The Happiest Girl,” and Rosé & Bruno Mars’ “APT” with newer fan-favorite tracks.
Expect big vocals, immersive vibes, and a full food-and-drink experience in an intimate NYC venue.
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
Since dropping his latest album Foxes in the Snow, and his first solo album in 10 years in 2025, Americana star Jason Isbell will land in NYC, this time with his band The 400 Unit alongside him.
On February 20th, he’ll play a solo show, and the 21st with The 400 Unit!
Mita Gami & Meir Briskman Orchestra
Originally debuting at Burning Man in 2024 atop Mayan Warrior’s art car, electronic music visionary Mita Gami and renowned composer and conductor Meir Briskman are set to join forces for a rare evening that has only happened less than a handful of times.
The Israeli DJ will play Brooklyn Paramount this month, bringing his identifiable brand of psychedelic house, Middle Eastern sounds, and indie influences all together in a reimagined way with live orchestra.
It’s set to be one of the most anticipated live dance music events of 2026.
