M83, FLORENCE & THE MACHINE, CHAIRLIFT

Welcome to the first full week of May!  With the warm weather and rain comes a swarm of wonderful artists such as Florence & The Machine, Chairlift, and M83, all destined to sell out their respective shows if they haven’t already.  And it’s not only them, but also Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Bear in Heaven, and a personal favorite of mine, Alt-J, that will be gracing various stages across the city.

Thanks for checking out our suggested New York City indie concerts list!  We won’t list everything that’s going on — just a short collection of great shows happening in our city that you shouldn’t miss this week.  And to make it as easy for you as possible, you can listen to all the bands and sometimes get some free MP3s!
