One if the best venues for live music in New England. From the building itself, to the staff this place is amazing. MCL

Jessicka Dench

One of the best places in Mass for metal bands. There is plenty of standing room, and a big space for a pit. There are booths too, but you should probably get there early if you want one.

Ashley

I've never had a bad night at the palladium! Not too small but not big at all. Love a good intimate show!! Bar gets packed fast downstairs!

Annette H

Best venue for metal shows in my opinion. Sound is great upstairs and down.

United Sewer & Drain

What happened to my favorite International Heavy Metal, Death, underground music venue .

Miya Hagberg

If you're 21+ and plan on consuming "adult" beverages, be sure you get a drink wristband prior to ordering. No wristband = No booze/beer for you. No ifs, ands, or buts, about it. Proper ID required.

Colleen Johnson

Favorite venue and staff in MA! Good sound, good drinks. Just gets freezing in the winter!

Keith (Keefy) Chachkes

Another great show at the best venue for metal in the northeast! TDEP was insane.

Matthew Fahs

This place is great for small shows with big bands with two floors each mad sweet check it out if your around or want to see a show

@TraciAndKracka @RealProFanity

Just be respectful and everything is always straight. We have never had a problem <3 Palladium! Tip the bartenders !

Justin Snow

Downstairs, the further from the stage you are, the better the acoustics are. So, be prepared to choose between being close to the band, or actually being able to tell what you're listening to.

Ailey Ferreira

Crazy long wait even for us VIPs. NO heat indoors. Stay up near the lounge if u dont wanna get trampled in the mosh pit . Small venue so u can still see fine from the lounge ...

Jenn Houle

There are great concerts here for not a lot of money. However if you come to one that's listed as upstairs, be prepared to be surrounded by people! Read more

Decibel Magazine

On 03/04/2011 the Decibel Sponsored Creatures from the Black Abyss Tour stops here! Featuring Cradle of Filth, Nachtmystium, Turisas and Daniel Lioneye

Benjamin Smith

Don't pay for parking . Park at a meter at the church up the street. It's free at night

Cilver

When we come back here, be careful if you're in the front row. Uliana might kick a can of beer at you lol

Jacob Simmons

The downstairs is for more mainstream bands. The upstairs is usually for local bands .

Steph Corthell

Great venue! Just be prepared for all the rules and some idiots that work there :/

Rob S.

If you are here for an upstairs show, don't stop in the doorway to watch the band as soon as you enter. Keep moving.

Derek Showerman

Get here early for a seat and crap before the bathrooms become less sanitary then eating out of the toilet .

Shannah Tighe

I liked it. Parking across from the venue was okay even though we got there late.

Jake

For some of your favorite bands come to the Worchester Paladium!

Jennifer Gervais

Kevin Mendonça

Palladium is pager friendly .

Don Nolin

It was like trying to enter a demilitarized zone. I'll not return to this venue again.

Mike Worsh

Terrible sound, tons of teeny boppers, no heat, overpriced drinks and shitty security. It's like every other venue in the country . That being said not a bad seat in the house.

Ernie Cordeiro

Get here early. And make sure you don't have will call. That line takes forever!

Cassie Melcher

The bathrooms are a disgusting war zone.

Lobo El

Try the Kiss Kiss Bang Banger

Natasha W

Try not to get annoyed by a bunch of 18 year olds!

Erin O'Connor

The bathrooms are disgusting.
