According to Bandsintown's newly released 2025 High Notes report , New York City is setting the pace for the music scene. The live-music discovery platform ranked New York as the fastest-growing music fan city in the world in 2025, beating out other heavy hitters, including Washington, D.C., Madrid, London and São Paulo. New York also landed among the top three U.S. cities for ticket demand, reinforcing its status as one of the most powerful live-music markets in the country. Fans here don't just talk about shows-they actually go to them.
