The Hold Steady has unveiled Massive Nights 2025: 10 Years of Killer Parties!, the 10th annual edition of their beloved multi-night concert event held each year at Brooklyn, NY’s Brooklyn Bowl, set for Wednesday, December 3 through Saturday, December 6.
To commemorate the milestone occasion, the Hold Steady will kick off the weekend on Wednesday, December 3 with the first-ever Massive Nights installment of their intimate “Storytellers” show, a special seated performance that will see the band stripping down familiar songs along with additional classics not usually heard during regular sets. Entry for “Storytellers” will be limited, including a small number of standing-room tickets. Massive Nights 2025 will then see the Hold Steady performing two unique sets each night with no opening acts on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, including a full album performance and second set stacked with fan favorites and more. Thursday, December 4 will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Hold Steady’s landmark second studio album, Separation Sunday, followed by surprise full album performances on Friday, December 5 and Saturday, December 6.
General on-sales start Friday, August 1 at 10:00 am (ET). 4-night passes, 3-night passes (for Thursday, December 4-Saturday, December 6), Gold Circle VIP tickets, and single-night GA tickets are available during the regular presale as well as to members of Lanyards, the Hold Steady’s newly launched fan hub. As always, a number of add-ons are available, including the annual Pub Quiz (Thursday, December 4), Soundcheck/Happy Hour (Friday, December 5), and exclusive Massive Nights 10 merch bundle (featuring signed event poster, event tote bag, THS drink koozie, and THS sticker sheet).

“10 years. Wow,” exclaims Craig Finn. “We started Massive Nights as a celebration of the 10 year anniversary of Boys And Girls In America, and it has grown into the most wonderful time of the year for The Hold Steady community. We never could have anticipated the joy each December brings when everyone congregates at the Brooklyn Bowl. To be celebrating 10 years of Massive Nights as we see the 20 year Anniversary of BAGIA on the horizon is truly amazing.”
