Starland Ballroom

I've said it before, but it's time to say it again. The Starland Ballroom in Sayreville New Jersey rocks!

On Friday night we were able to see Theory of a Deadman with opening act Halestorm for just $18 each. Parking alone for events at The Rock is $20, so that's a win right there!

In addition, the Starland Ballroom allows you to get up front and close during each act.

Looking for fun concerts? Upcoming shows include:

• We the Kings
• Anti-Flag
• Brandi Carlile
• Sebastian Bach
• E.Town Concrete
• The Used (with one of my favs Atreyu opening)
• Cold Nonpoint
• Comedy - "Dr. Dirty" John Valby
• New Found Glory
• George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic
• Big D & The Kid's Table
• God Forbid • Kittie
• Soulfly
• WASP

Starland Ballroom

Concerts. Music. Shows. Performances. Entertainment. I love it all.

High ticket prices. $12 for parking. An idiot behind you kicking your seat. I dislike it all.

You with me? Read on, cause there's a place right in Sayreville with great music and low ticket prices. I know what you're probably thinking. "They can't have good bands", but you're wrong! Starland Ballroom has awesome bands, most of which you can see for less than $30. In the next month alone they have shows featuring Boys Like Girls, Cobra Starship, and Saving Abel. Over the past few years I've seen Papa Roach, 10 Years, Blue October, Yellow Card, and Jonny Lang.

What's the catch? There really isn't any. The shows are standing room only (with a few couches to lounge on and seating in the bar area) so it's really first come first serve for the best view. Shows are small with a few thousand in the crowd. Don't get me wrong, you probably aren't going to see Beyonce and Jay Z at Starland, but you will have a great variety to choose from including musical acts and comedy shows for entertainment.

Don't believe me? Check it out at Starland Ballroom.
