Yo La Tengo Announce First Hanukkah Shows in 5 Years

The band’s eight-night tradition is back

By Sam Sodomsky.

Yo La Tengo have announced the return of their famed Hanukkah shows. Their holiday tradition was put on hold following the 2013 closing of Hoboken, N.J. venue Maxwell’s, where the shows had taken place nearly every year for over a decade. This year, the band’s eight consecutive performances will instead take place at New York’s Bowery Ballroom, from December 12-19. As per usual, proceeds will be donated to charity and special guests will be announced. Tickets for the shows will be available here on Friday.
