Fall officially began this past Wednesday, and the boom in live music events this summer shows no sign of slowing. The biggest draws this weekend will be the Sound on Sound Festival in Bridgeport, Rolling Loud’s multiple stages in the parking lot of Citi Field, and the free Global Citizen event in Central Park. In addition, many of the local stadiums, arenas, theaters, ballrooms, clubs, and bars also will feature great live music.
The following concerts originally scheduled for this weekend are postponed or canceled. Look further down these listings for alternate choices for live music.
- Jake Bugg at Brooklyn Steel
- Boy & Bear, Handsome Ghost at the Music Hall of Williamsburg
- Cold at Mercury Lounge
- Sharon Katz & the Peace Train at Joe’s Pub
