The Anthrax

The Anthrax is a live performance space in Connecticut equipped with a stage, sound system, and standing room for audiences. The venue provides basic facilities including restrooms, a bar, and parking for event attendees.

The venue became known in the local music scene early on by hosting emerging metal and punk bands. This support for these genres during their growth shaped its lasting role in the region.

The venue serves as a gathering place for people drawn to independent and alternative music, with regular crowds of musicians and fans from the area. This role as a community hub for those passionate about these genres has shaped how the space functions and feels.

Visits work best during weekends or promoted event times when shows regularly take place. It is helpful to check beforehand what acts are performing, as the schedule varies.

Touring acts and local musicians collaborate spontaneously, creating performances that blend different musical styles. These unplanned collaborations make each show feel fresh and unpredictable.
