Just a few months after lighting up Fenway Park as direct support for Hozier, Gigi Perez is back in Boston, this time headlining her own show at the House of Blues on October 15.

Perez has quickly built a reputation as one of alt-pop’s most compelling new voices. Her unique, masculine-leaning tone gives her music a timeless quality — the kind of songs listeners will hold onto long past her time. This year alone, she’s hit major stages opening for girl in red, and delivering standout main-stage sets at Lollapalooza and other major festivals. 

Her 2025 debut album At the Beach, In Every Life released earlier this year is a project praised for its mix of vulnerable lyricism and self-produced sounds that feel so personal. She’s been named one of Rolling Stone’s “Pop Acts to Watch” and Billboard’s “10 LGBTQ+ Artists to Watch,” while delivering national TV performances on The Tonight Show and TODAY.

She briefly attended Berklee College of Music before leaving during the pandemic, so her returns to Boston always feel like a full-circle moment.

House of Blues offers the perfect setting to experience Perez up close, where her songs about love, faith, and grief cut right to the heart. Fans can expect favorites like “Sailor Song” alongside new songs from her new album.
