I have been to quite a few concert venues throughout my life, but here is a list of my top favorites (in no particular order) and why!
- Madison Square Garden
This venue speaks for itself, and there is a reason people call it “The World’s Most Famous Arena”. For me, the location plays a huge part in it. Being right in the middle of New York City, which has a huge music scene – it gets bonus points from me. The history behind the arena itself is so incredible and the feeling of watching your favorite artists perform there live is an amazing experience. 10/10.
2. Constitution Hall
This venue is one of the smallest historic venues I have ever been to. I have been to a lot of “hole in the wall” venues, but this one is very different. It is an unique venue with incredible architecture. It is located in Washington DC, and seeing shows in my hometown usually makes the experience even better for me. This venue is extremely intimate which sets a warm and cozy tone for any show. The comfortable seats are a huge plus as well. 9.5/10.
3. The Forum
This venue gets an automatic high rating because of the location. Visiting Los Angeles, California was a bucket list item of mine since I was a child, and I finally got to live out my dream in 2018. That entire trip and show was so surreal for me and it is still crazy to me that it happened. The Forum holds a special place in my heart now because of the experiences I made there and how much fun that whole trip was. It is a very old arena, and the seats weren’t incredibly comfortable, but I didn’t care in that moment. I’d relive that night over and over again if I could. (: 10/10
