Kelela's music sits where R&B meets the dance floor, and her new album new avatar gets its New York live debut across two nights at Brooklyn Paramount. The restored 1928 movie palace, with its gilded ceiling and open floor, suits her layered, bass-heavy sound. If you missed tickets for the first night, the second gives you another shot.
What to expect
Expect a production built around the new record in a grand, high-ceilinged room with a general-admission floor and balcony. The venue offers add-ons like coat check and an upgraded lounge through its ticketing.
Good to know

- Arrive early if you want a spot near the front of the floor.
- Check the venue's bag policy before heading out.
