Check out a day-by-day summary, complete with set-by-set galleries, of the shenanigans that we got into during our journey to Chicago and see why we’re so smitten with the Windy City’s music festival that isn’t Lollapalooza.
Last Sunday night, Lord Huron and delivered an electric performance in front of a sold out crowd at the House of Blues, joined on stage by L.A. indie rock three-piece Cherry Glazerr.
In town last week were perhaps one of the most popular rock bands of the 90’s, The Smashing Pumpkins, joined by Canadian indie rockers, Metric.
Last Sunday, Summer Salt played a sweltering hot and tightly packed Great Scott with first time Boston performers Hot Flash Heat Wave and returning Chicago rockers The Symposium.
Last Saturday, Bellows wrapped up their summer tour at ONCE Somerville with openers Soft Fangs and Happy Little Clouds. The weekend also marked the last of their farewell shows for 2016’s Fist and Palm, making it particularly special show for local fans.
There was a lot going on in Boston on July 27th: a Red Sox game for sports fans, CannaCon for all the marijuana lovers–––but the biggest most bumping event of the day was A$AP Ferg’s Mad Man Tour at the House of Blues with special guests Buddy and IDK.
On Monday, Michigan’s young and ruthless rockers Greta Van Fleet played their first of two sold out shows with opening act CLOVES at the House of Blues in Boston.
The Get Up Kids are more than alright, they’re in peak form and the future looks luminous for the Kansas City gents.
Last Thursday, Really From (fka People Like You) headlined a show at Great Scott joined by fellow local acts Squirrel Flower and Prior Panic, and Chicago touring partners, Mother Evergreen.
On Saturday July 8th, ONCE delivered a stacked bill to a full house with Shepherdess, Spowder and Screaming Females.
