Summertime and the living is live, loud, and (often) outdoors.

From Fenway Park to small rock clubs, a killer summer of concerts is at our door. The ballpark has new names — thankfully. The rock clubs have a steady stream of talent coming in.

Whether you want to see something with 35,000 friends or discover your next new fave in a room with 200, our summer lineup is stacked.
