Franz Ferdinand live in New York

Experience Franz Ferdinand live on August 8th

Franz Ferdinand is scheduled to perform at The Paramount in Huntington, New York on August 8, 2026. The band is recognized for their distinctive post-punk revival sound, blending art rock sensibilities with danceable rhythms and angular guitar work. Emerging from Glasgow, Scotland in 2001, they gained prominence in the early 2000s with hits like “Take Me Out” and “Do You Want To,” becoming key figures in the indie rock landscape of that era. Their music often incorporates influences from new wave, glam rock, and even disco.

The Paramount is a historic venue located on New York’s Long Island. Originally opening in 1926 as a Vaudeville house, it operated as a prominent cinema throughout much of the mid-20th century showcasing first-run films. Following a period of decline and closure in the 1990s, the building underwent extensive renovations and reopened as a live entertainment venue in 2011. It currently hosts a diverse range of performances including concerts, comedy shows, and theatrical productions. The venue retains many of its original Art Deco architectural features contributing to its atmosphere.
