Music

The MBTA permits musical performances at a number of subway stations in metro Boston. Musicians in stations must have a license and remain in designated areas. 

We also host live musical performances in select stations to bring entertainment and share joy with riders as they travel the T.

Learn more about the Subway Performers Program and how to apply through the Massachusetts Realty Group, the MBTA's real estate division.
