Three synth-pop icons. One stage. Friday, June 26 at 8:00 PM ET, The Human League headlines Radio City Music Hall with very special guests Soft Cell and Alison Moyet — a lineup that should not exist but somehow does, and you have a ticket.
Once you walk through those doors, the night is yours. Getting there, though, takes a little planning.
Getting There
The National Weather Service is forecasting a chance of rain showers and thunderstorms for Friday in New York, with a high near 77°F and precipitation probability around 52%. It’s not a washout, but it’s not dry either. If you’re walking from a garage or getting dropped off on Sixth Avenue, expect wet pavement and a crowd all funneling in at the same time.
The subway is your friend tonight. If you’re driving, build in extra time — street parking near the venue on a rainy Friday evening is a serious test of patience. Aim to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before showtime so you’re not sprinting through rain to make the opener.
Rep the Lineup
This is a once-in-a-generation bill, and merchandise lines after a show like this move slowly. Get there early and grab what you want before the lights go down. A The Human League t-shirt or The Human League hat is the obvious move. If you want something longer-lasting than a hoodie-sized memory, a The Human League poster rolls up easily and survives the commute home.
Large theaters tend to run cool regardless of what’s happening outside — a The Human League hoodie earns its keep as both a show piece and a practical layer once you’re seated.
Protect Your Ears
Three full sets of synth-pop at concert volume is an event. Concert ear plugs high fidelity let you hear every layer of the mix without the ringing afterward — worth it on a multi-act night that could stretch well past 10:00 PM ET.
Quick Tips
- Check your ticket for exact door times; arrive early to clear merch lines before showtime
- On a rainy night, rideshare drop-off near the venue beats circling for parking
- Check the venue website for current bag policies before you head out
- Showtime is 8:00 PM ET — don’t sleep on the opening acts
