Did You Know These Ten Bands Have Sold Out Albany’s MVP Arena?
Whether you know it as the Knickerbocker, the Pepsi, the T.U. or the MVP Arena, Albany's downtown venue has seen it all since it opened in the 1990's.
We've seen raucous crowds for sports games, thousands of karaoke stars singing along with hit artists, and any number of versions of shows being "on ice", just to name a few. As artists make their way up and down the East Coast while on tour, a number of them always make a stop in the Capital Region.
Not only that, but a select few of them have even left the arena without an empty seat.

With that said, here are ten famous bands and artists that you may not have known sold out Albany's premier downtown arena. Which name surprised you?
