Live music guide to

Syracuse

Central New York's hub for live shows, big and small.

Syracuse is Central New York's live-music crossroads, where touring acts rolling through upstate share the calendar with a deep roster of local bands. Historic theaters and a university crowd keep the bookings varied — rock and country one night, jazz or hip-hop the next — and the brewery and bar scene fills in the gaps with shows almost every weekend. It's an easy hub to build a night around, and the calendar stays busy across all four seasons.
