LOWELL
TAFFETA
ABOUT
Taffeta Music Hall is a 400-capacity live music venue at 122 Western Avenue in Lowell, Massachusetts, located within the historic Western Avenue Studios mill building. The venue operates as a general admission standing room concert hall.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Expect a range of touring and regional acts spanning rock, metal, punk, indie, and electronic genres in an industrial mill setting. The venue books acts like Belphegor, Arkona, and emerging artists on the national circuit. Private events accommodate groups of 50-400.
HISTORY
Taffeta is a relatively new addition to the Lowell music scene, established inside one of the city's repurposed textile mills. The venue has quickly built a reputation as a mid-size rock and alternative music destination, filling a gap in the market between small club shows and larger arena-scale events in the Merrimack Valley.
