[Boston-Area Action 3/25/26] Show-Going Plans & New Show Announcements
Posted on March 25, 2026 at 10:39 am | No Comments
Another Wednesday, another post of upcoming Boston-area shows on my radar along with new live shows announced within the past week. Essential escapism.
Some stand-outs from the imminent shows: Eugene & company are back in town tonight as Gogol Bordello plays the Royale and brings along Puzzled Panther, Piebald are at Roadrunner tomorrow night, and Downtown Boys (who just announced a new record) are at Deep Cuts on Friday. Saturday’s a good one with Hey I’m Outside at Remnant Satellite and Corin’s birthday show with the Zip-Ups is at Medford Brewing Company. O’Brien’s also hosts the first of their free New Music Matinees. Kier Byrnes & his band are at the Burren, too. Jeez. Busy day.
As far as new shows go, there’s the LUCE benefit that Hotline TNT are headlining in JP on April 21st, which goes up against the just-announced next edition of Which Side?: A Protest Music Teach-Out. Joe Pernice also booked a couple nights at Club Passim, and the Somergloom Festival announced that this year’s edition will take place from August 6th to August 9th.
Some other good things in these lists, so have a look, and also at the more complete rundown in the right-hand column over there —>
