Music Hall of Williamsburg Faces 2026 Exit After Lease Is Not Renewed

Bowery Presents plans to keep the 650-capacity venue active through 2026 pending a decision on relocation or shutdown.

Overview

  • Bowery Presents co-partners Jim Glancy and John Moore said in an internal memo that the owners of 66 North 6th Street declined to renew the lease beyond 2026.
  • Music Hall of Williamsburg will continue to book and stage concerts through the end of 2026 under Bowery Presents.
  • After the lease ends, the venue must either relocate or cease operations, and no alternative site has been announced.
  • The club is operated by Bowery Presents, which does not own the building, leaving its future dependent on the landlord.
  • Opened as Northsix in 2001 and rebranded in 2007, the venue has hosted early shows by Kendrick Lamar, Harry Styles, Tame Impala, St. Vincent, and Ed Sheeran.
