About The Sinclair Music Hall
The Sinclair Music Hall sits in the heart of Cambridge, MA at 52 Church Street. This three-room, two-level venue combines a wraparound balcony with an indoor stage and an adjoining restaurant, The Sinclair Kitchen, plus three bars for a lively night out. With a capacity of 525 standing and flexible seating configurations ranging roughly from 150–220 seats depending on the event layout, The Sinclair offers an intimate yet versatile concert experience. Whether you’re catching a touring act or a local prodigy, secure your seats or general admission spot early for the best view.
Open since December 12, 2012, The Sinclair has hosted notable moments—from the opening Concrete Blonde show to memorable New Year’s Eve appearances and landmark milestones like celebrating 1,000 shows in November 2016. While the venue remains The Sinclair at 52 Church Street, there’s never been a dull moment in this Cambridge staple.
