[Boston-Area Action 2/18/26] Show-Going Plans & New Show Announcements
Posted on February 18, 2026 at 1:25 pm | No Comments
Running on fumes & melancholia at the moment, so keeping this short. This is the weekly post (usually Wednesdays) where I list imminent Boston-area shows I’m hoping to attend if I can actually make myself leave my house. I’ll also run down a list of just-announced dates, ones that have popped up since last time. There are some good ones in there. If you’ve got other plans or new shows you’re psyched about (or playing), comment with them. This list is very far from all-inclusive, though there’s a longer one over there on the right —>
Just a few shows I’m planning on checking out this week. I hate that I have to choose between two very worthy benefits tomorrow night… at least I can throw a little cash at one while attending the other. My own highlights from the announcements: Chapterhouse comes to the Sinclair in May, and Hiss Golden Messenger plays there in November. Read on…
