Lynn Memorial Auditorium (Lynn, MA) Concert Venue / Theater

The Lynn Memorial Auditorium has been bringing classic rock bands and comedians to Lynn for over half a century. Concerts at Lynn Memorial Auditorium have included Peter Paul and Mary, Kansas, Kenny Rogers, Foreigner, and Pat Benatar, while comedy shows at Lynn Memorial Auditorium have included the likes of Bill Cosby and Howie Mandel, who have made the audience cry with laughter.

Built in 1948, the auditorium has a seating capacity of 2,122, split between the main floor and a wide balcony. While primarily a concert venue, the Lynn Memorial Auditorium has also hosted dance performances and screened movies on occasion. No air conditioning means that it’s closed in the summer, but bustling from fall through spring.

The venue is a mere 25 minutes away from Boston, and there’s free parking in the auditorium’s lot. Taking the T isn’t bad, either – hop on the commuter rail at North Station and get dropped off a half mile from the auditorium.
