Iron Horse Music Hall

The Iron Horse, founded in 1979, has always been a vital part of Northampton, and the larger Pioneer Valley. A venue unlike any other, where the artists and audience can really see each other, and form a connection, its feel is magnetic. This connection fuels the mission of the venue; to enhance the health and vitality of our community through the power of music. Today, the Iron Horse exists under the umbrella of the Parlor Room Collective nonprofit. The nonprofit spearheaded a major renovation for increased accessibility, adding 9 bathrooms on the first floor, and an improved patron experience, with a new bar and a new kitchen partnership. Artists returning to the Iron Horse will be pleased to see the new, expanded green rooms (plural!) and enjoy the increased privacy of an artist-only lower level. Audience capacity is now up to 300. Re-opened in May 2024, the venue continues to be an iconic space; with a thriving community rooted deeply in music.
