The Beacon hosts a mix: touring rock bands, comedy residencies, specialty shows, broadcast tapings, and occasional theater or dance productions. It’s famous for long-running artist residencies — the Allman Brothers Band played there for decades and made the venue part of their tradition — and more recently major comedians and special-event runs have used it as a go-to NYC home base. The space is also used for recorded concerts and televised events, so you might catch something that later shows up on TV or streaming. In short: expect varied programming and keep an eye on the schedule because the lineup can change from month to month.
