NYC’s concert stages are heating up regardless of the wind chill, and we’ve curated the March 2026 concert calendar you need to bookmark.
Whether you’re dodging a late-season flurry at a cavernous Brooklyn warehouse or cozying up by a thousand flickering candles in a historic cathedral, here are our the best concerts coming to NYC this March — handpicked by our staff.
Mitski
