Celia Cruz and Fela Kuti, drawing diverse crowds eager to dance the night away.

Justin Timberlake and many more. From the iconic first performances of music legends to the breakthrough moments of comedic geniuses, SOB's has been an incubator for talent and a witness to extraordinary moments that have become part of music history. From
Madonna and
Bruce Springsteen to Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld, the stage at SOB's has been graced by the greatest performers of our time.
To commemorate the 40th Anniversary, SOB's has planned a one of a kind immersive experience with special performances while welcoming some of the biggest names to ever grace the iconic stage. The experience will be complete with never-before-seen footage, photos, and memorabilia from iconic shows over the past four decades.
