Yo La Tengo Confirms 2025 Hanukkah Residency In New York City

Yo La Tengo announced the 2025 edition of their annual Hanukkah run at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom. The trio will continue the tradition with eight shows from December 14 – 21.

If past residencies are to be a guide, each show will start with a surprise music and comedy opener. Additionally, Yo La Tengo will welcome special guests at all eight concerts as they mine their massive repertoire with distinct setlists each night.

Fred Armisen, Marc Ribot, MJ Lenderman and Mac McCaughan were among Yo La Tengo’s guests at their last Hanukkah residency. The tradition dates back to 2001, when the run was initially held at Maxwell’s in the trio’s hometown of Hoboken, New Jersey. Yo La Tengo put the residency on hiatus from 2013 through 2016 after the venue was shuttered and brought the run back in 2017 at Bowery Ballroom, where it’s been held ever since.

General on-sales for tickets start on Friday, September 5 at 10 a.m. ET. No fee tickets can be purchased at Record Grouch in Brooklyn.
