The Middle East is the premier Boston/Cambridge destination to hear the best live music and enjoy amazing food and drinks. In the early 1990s, The Middle East quickly became an instrumental part of the music culture in the Boston area. It's where new talent was quickly discovered and given voice. It was where established bands tried out new things on their audience.

The Middle East receives continuous awards from local newspapers for our food and music venues. If you're an emerging or established band, this is a huge opportunity to play the most iconic venues in the Boston area. There are multiple availabilities throughout the fall/winter and our intention is to create musical bills with similar acts to ensure a great night of live music.

Its three dedicated concert spaces, Upstairs, Downstairs, and Sonia sit alongside ZuZu and The Corner, two restaurants that also host live music.
