Inside New York’s Newest Venue Brooklyn Paramount Undergoing Millions in Renovations

A new music venue has been announced in Brooklyn bringing an incredible roster of artists including NYC favorites the Martinez Brothers this March.

The Brooklyn Paramount is preparing to return to the city’s live entertainment ecosystem after 60 years of retirement. Steeped in nearly a century of history, this iconic venue is undergoing a multi-million-dollar renovation ahead of its eagerly anticipated reopening on March 27. Shortly after opening night, the venue will host its first electronic music show with the Martinez Brothers on March 29th!

The revitalization project aims to preserve the venue’s rich heritage while transforming it into a state-of-the-art music destination fit for the modern age. First opened in 1928, the Brooklyn Paramount quickly became a namesake. The venue played a heavy hand in showcasing a long list of musical pioneers and legendary artists throughout its four decades in operation.

Given that the Brooklyn Paramount has played a pivotal role in shaping Brooklyn’s current cultural landscape, its historic reopening will surely be no different. The venue is being brought back to its original glory by celebrating its storied past while embracing the future of live music. The redesigned space will feature a grand stage, cutting-edge backstage facilities, and room for up to 2,700 attendees.

The venue has announced over 45 shows, including major names such as Sean Paul, Sum 41, the Martinez Brothers, Pinkpanthress, and Brooklyn native Busta Rhymes. The venue will remain true to its roots and the commitment to showcasing boundary-pushing performers as well as add another venue to Brooklyn’s arsenal which currently includes Elsewhere, Silo, Avant Gardner, the Brooklyn Mirage, Nowadays, Barclays Center, the Lot Radio, K Street Bridge, Public Records, and many others.

The owners have made significant investments to preserve the venue’s historic Baroque details and iconic Rococo ceiling. Other structural updates include a sloped floor for optimal viewing, seven state-of-the-art bars, and exclusive member boxes on the second-level balcony.

Brooklyn Paramount’s reopening marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for this historic landmark. As it reclaims its place at the forefront of Brooklyn’s music scene, the Brooklyn Paramount will unquestionably capture the hearts of many.

Hey! I’m Shiv!

Music is the greatest part of my life, I remember discovering dubstep when I was 15/16 and my entire life was altered – robot noises?? I needed MORE!

Now, I live in NYC and have seen over 60 artists of all genres; my favorites being Odesza, Subtronics, Rezz, Griz, Zeds Dead, John Summit and Kaskade. I am an enjoyer of music and will try everything once, I do not discriminate – there is beauty in all genres (minus country).

You can usually find me in a warehouse at 4AM because I am nocturnal and will quite literally never say no to a show.
