Upcoming Events at Rough Trade NYC
Rough Trade NYC sits in the heart of Rockefeller Center at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, offering two distinct music spaces that have helped redefine live performance in New York. Rough Trade Above is a cozy room with about 75 capacity, perfect for intimate sets and signings. Rough Trade Below, opened with the expanded footprint in 2025, brings a semi-permanent stage and seats roughly 300, delivering a more immersive concert experience while still reflecting Rough Trade’s signature warm, artist-first vibe.
Whether you’re chasing indie buzz, a signed album, or a memorable live show, this venue duo is designed for connection—between performers and fans, and between you and your next great night out in NYC.
