Batten down the hatches, the march of the pigs is coming to Boston. The British metal band Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs are coming back around town on Sunday, June 29th, to take over Brighton Music Hall. They’ll be joined by the awesomely-named Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol, a doom band based in Austin.

Pigs x7 are touring behind their excellent new album, Death Hilarious. The band got their start in doom metal – their debut album has only three songs, two of which are 15+ minutes. With each passing album, they’ve incorporated more and more old-school heavy metal, imagining what it might sound like if Sleep and Motorhead intertwined. The music is ferocious and heavy, and totally fun. The band’s name and imagery prove that they aren’t one of the more serious metal bands out there, but they still deliver serious riffs and cover genuine topics in their songs. Each album sees them branching out even further – Death Hilarious even features a totally unexpected feature from El-P, of all people. It should go down as one of the premier metal albums of 2025, and like all of their previous albums, it’s full of tunes designed to pummel a live audience.

Recent setlists indicate that the band will pull from most of their albums, so if you’re a fan of either delectable doom or riffy heavy metal, this is a gig to mark on your calendar. The band’s thunderous live show was previously captured in their Live In New York album and will certainly fit right in at Brighton Music Hall. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and the full tour schedule is available on the band’s site.
