LCD Soundsystem Cancel Last 3 Shows of Brooklyn Residency
LCD Soundsystem have cancelled their last three shows of their Brooklyn Steel residency, as Omicron COVID-19 cases spike in New York City. Brooklyn Steel tweeted: “LCD Soundsystem’s shows at Brooklyn Steel on December 19, 20 and 21 have been cancelled. All tickets purchased via AXS will be automatically refunded – there is no action required if you purchased your tickets via AXS online or by phone.”
Their month-long residency of 20 shows in the 1,800 capacity venue sold out quickly following overwhelming demand.
The Brooklyn-based band shared the following written statement on their social media accounts:
“we’re so sorry to anyone who wanted to come regardless. to the people who made plans — travel or otherwise, or who fought to get these tickets. of course, you’ll get your money back and, as we said the other day, you will be first in line for tickets next time we play in nyc.”

Before their show on December 17, LCD Soundsystem shared a statement saying that they were going to move forward with the final shows of their residency, which started on November 23rd. “You need to make your own decision as to whether you feel safe coming to see us,” the band wrote at the time. “If enough people want to cancel, we’ll cancel the shows and refund everything, putting you next in line as well.”
In 2017, James Murphy and crew played a 5-night residency for the grand opening of Brooklyn Steel on April 6-11.
