Met Philadelphia

The Met Philadelphia is one of the most interesting music venues in the country, full stop. The building is a 1908 opera house that sat dormant for decades before being restored as a live music venue, and the interior is magnificent - original ornate plasterwork, a wide balcony level that wraps the room, and a main floor that goes GA standing for most shows. The combination of a historic theater space with a modern touring concert booking is genuinely rare and special.

The North Broad Street location in North Philadelphia means you're not in Center City, but the venue is accessible by the Broad Street Line and there are ride share options throughout the evening. The programming leans toward indie, alternative, and mid-size touring acts in the 3,000-5,000 range who benefit from a room that makes them sound good. Get there early to appreciate the architecture before the lights go down - you'll want to look around before the show starts.
