They Might Be Giants’ tour uses a rotating album spotlight, but the band has not announced the New Haven selection. The ticketed show starts at 9:30 p.m. Dec. 31 at College Street Music Hall; the listing also names Jonathan Coulton and sets a 16+ age minimum.

The clearest preview of They Might Be Giants’ New Year’s Eve show in New Haven is its changing format, not a confirmed set list: the tour plans an album spotlight followed by a second set that varies. The band has not said which album—or which songs—will be featured at College Street Music Hall.
John Flansburgh and John Linnell met as teenagers and began writing songs together in high school. After college, they reunited in Brooklyn in 1981. Their career has since ranged from the 1986 self-titled debut to Flood, the 1990 album that brought the band wider success.
Their work also extends beyond rock albums. They made children’s music, including the Grammy-winning Here Come the 123s, and wrote for television; “Boss of Me,” the Malcolm in the Middle theme, earned the band another Grammy. That range helps explain why a changing album focus can offer different entry points into the catalog, but none of these examples confirms what the group will play in New Haven.

The New Haven listing names both They Might Be Giants and Jonathan Coulton, but gives Coulton no individual set time and does not establish the order. The band describes its wider tour as a no-opener format; the available information does not explain how that general description fits this bill. Don’t assume Coulton’s role or timing.
The event listing gives a 9:30 p.m. performance start but does not state when doors open. The band’s tour page says doors are usually at 7 p.m. and the band is almost always onstage at 8 p.m.; that general guidance is not confirmed for New Haven. Verify this event’s door time with the venue.
The event listing sets a minimum age of 16. Ticket prices and fees are not stated; check current ticket terms before purchasing.
The event is listed at 238 College Street, New Haven, CT 06510.
The band’s general tour information cautions that performances can be loud and include profanity. The event listing separately specifies an age minimum of 16.
