The Wellmont Theater in Montclair, New Jersey, is a serious contender for live music, thanks to a 2013 partnership with Live Nation.
That means a steady run of acts all year. Don't expect some indie hole-in-the-wall; this is Live Nation's show, so you'll get what you pay for: professional sound, good organization, and reliable bookings. It's a proper venue, not some pop-up.
The Wellmont also makes a point of being LGBTQ+-friendly, so everyone's welcome. They pull crowds for all sorts of concerts and events, from rock to comedy.
You'll find it at 5 Seymour Street in Montclair. For tickets and what's on, hit up thewellmonttheater.com.

It would get 5 stars if the sound bounced better in the venue hall. But it was one of the best venue foods ive eaten. Seating is a bit strange but not a deal breaker. Good pit area, easy to get around/through. Clean bathrooms, good security! Great medical team for hardcore shows.
Good stuff
Entertainment is good. They have a lot of well-known attractions. The seating is not great, the seats are close to one another. The sound system is ok,not great.
A good location that is easy to get to and surrounded by lots of good food. But I've been here for quite a few shows and am always very underwhelmed by the sound. I am not sure what the issue is as I have watched shows from all different parts of the venue and it is always the same.
