This iconic Brooklyn-based band has rocked thousands of rooms across the globe, and they’re back to blow minds once again. What makes this year extra special is that it’s all about the music. The band is putting the spotlight back where it belongs — on the incredible sounds and unforgettable moments that The Hold Steady creates. No more talk about the past; it’s all about the present!
As always, we’re bringing you our unique Be in the Stream experience. Your energy, your passion, and your faces will light up Brooklyn Bowl’s bowling lane screens, allowing the band to connect with you throughout the show.
Ahead of the first show on Wednesday, November 29th, the band sat down with Brooklyn Bowl founder Peter Shapiro and The Gospel Of The Hold Steady author Michael Hann for a live version of frontman Craig Finn’s That’s How I Remember It podcast at The Wythe Hotel.
The Hold Steady was then joined by Sincere Engineer, the first of four surprise openers. Thursday saw an opening set from Katy Kirby; Friday Scott Lavine opened; and Real Young and Lazy Horse rounded out the lineup on Saturday.
The band played a unique setlist each night with over two dozen songs from throughout the band’s 20-year career, though one thing remained consistent: Each night’s encore concluded with “Killer Parties”. Saturday’s finale also featured a surprise appearance by The Horn Steady horn section and crew member Mosh Pit Josh, who sang “Stay Positive” on both Thursday and Saturday.
