UNH and Portsmouth’s Music Hall to Bring Headliners to Seacoast

The Music Hall in Portsmouth and the University of New Hampshire are partnering to bring larger touring acts to the region.

Under the new agreement, the Music Hall will curate shows at UNH’s Whittemore Center, which can fit up to 7,500 fans.

While The Music Hall already books major musical acts at its theater in Portsmouth, some performers skip the venue because of its limited capacity of around 900 seats.

Under the arrangement, the Music Hall will pay UNH a rental fee for the venue.

The school can generate additional revenues through concessions and parking fees.

Tickets will be purchased through the Music Hall’s box office.
