Seven Live Shows to See in Boston This Summer
See out top picks for the best concerts and live music coming to Boston this summer. 🎤🏟

by Boston Bucket List
Summer concert season is officially here, and we couldn’t be more excited. If you ask us, attending a concert is one of the best ways to create core memories (ask anyone you know, they’re guaranteed to have a good concert story for you). Luckily, in a place like Boston, there’s no shortage of live music and top acts to choose from when you're in the mood for singing at the top of your lungs with a bunch of strangers.
From the nostalgic bands you listened to on the bus home from middle school (hello, Taking Back Sunday) to the jams pumping at every summer house party (looking at you, In da Club), we gathered a list of some of the can’t-miss shows in and around Boston this summer—with some timeless classics, new artists, and family-friendly options included.
