Joe’s Pub in the Park

The Public Theater, in association with MTV and VH1, presents the inaugural season of Joe’s Pub in the Park, a two-week series of paid and free concerts at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.

Joe’s Pub, now in its 5th year of providing music at its downtown home, is one of New York City’s most celebrated showcase venues for live music and performance. With an intimate lounge setting, it is credited with launching some of the most important voices and innovators of today’s eclectic music scene, several of whom are featured in the JOE’S PUB IN THE PARK series.
