YOASOBI brings the Never Ending Stories Tour to Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Thursday, August 6 at 8:00 PM ET. Once you’re inside, the show is the only thing that matters — Barclays Center is fully indoor and climate-controlled, so the setlist is what you should be planning around, not the sky.
Getting There
The trip in is where the weather actually matters. The National Weather Service is calling for a high near 90°F with a heat index as high as 102°F on Thursday, plus a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon (30% chance of precipitation) and a lingering chance of rain showers before 8am. Wind will be light, out of the south at 5 to 10 mph.
Translation: if you’re walking from a subway stop, a parking garage, or grabbing dinner nearby before the show, you could get caught in a stray downpour or just be sweating through the humidity. Give yourself extra buffer time between wherever you’re coming from and the doors — a sudden shower can back up sidewalks and entry lines fast. Barclays Center sits right above the Atlantic Ave–Barclays Center subway station, so taking the train instead of driving cuts down on how long you’re exposed outside.
What to Bring
Once you’re through security, none of that outdoor stuff matters anymore. Arenas like Barclays Center can run cold once the AC kicks in and the crowd settles, so a light layer you can throw on for the second half of the show isn’t a bad idea.
If you want to protect your hearing for a night of YOASOBI’s full sound system, grab a pair of concert ear plugs high fidelity before you go — they take the edge off the volume without muddying the music.
Rep the Show
Getting hyped for the tour? A YOASOBI t-shirt or YOASOBI hoodie makes for an easy show-day outfit, and a YOASOBI hat or YOASOBI poster is a solid way to commemorate the night if you’re not banking on grabbing merch at the venue.
Quick Tips
- Doors/arrival: Get there with plenty of cushion before 8:00 PM ET — factor in extra time if storms are rolling through.
- Parking: Nearby garages fill up fast on show nights; the subway is the more reliable option given the rain chances.
- Bag policy: Check Barclays Center’s clear-bag policy before you head out so you’re not stuck outside sorting it out in the rain.
