Thursday nights in Boston are nothing short of a good time. With the warm weather officially kicking off the summer, and the excitement of the World Cup bringing travellers to the city by the dozen, there was an unmistakable buzz in the air. The energy in the city was palpable as 19,000 people gathered together at TD Garden for Joji’s global Solaris Tour 2026.
June 25th, 2026 marks almost 25 years since hit rock band Jimmy Eat World released their famous album “Bleed American” to the world. If you think you’ve never heard of Jimmy Eat World, you’re lying to yourself; “The Middle” is a pop-punk anthem and a radio classic that I hear at my job at least 3 times a day (however the entire album is pure gold if you haven’t listened to it yet). To celebrate the 25th anniversary of their album, the band embarked on a nationwide tour with openers Girls Against Boys & The Wonder Years, including their stop at The Stone Pony Summer Stage this past Thursday.
There is a distinct shift that happens in a room when an artist steps onstage with absolutely nothing to hide. On Monday night at The Underground in Charlotte, rising indie-folk singer Evan Honer proved that commanding a venue doesn't require a massive wall of production; it only requires raw talent and a band capable of turning acoustic grit into something cinematic.
On the night of June 4th, Clara La San emerged through a sea of smoke at The Warfield in San Francisco. As wisps of haze carried her voice through the venue, the energy of the crowd followed, spreading excitement and awe to everyone who was watching. Although her tour is titled "Chosen Silences," the atmosphere of the place was anything but silent.
For many artists, a tour cycle is tied directly to an album release, a promotional push, or a carefully orchestrated marketing campaign. For Kelsy Karter & The Heroines, however, the Pleasure Tour feels refreshingly different. The Australian/British rock 'n' roll outfit, fronted by New Zealand singer-songwriter Kelsy Karter, brought the second U.S. stop of the tour to Valley Bar in Phoenix, Arizona on June 2, 2026, proving that sometimes the best reason to hit the road is simply for the love of it.
Dance Gavin Dance is a post-hardcore band formed in Sacramento, CA, in 2005. Over the past 21 years, they've become known for earlier songs such as "It's Safe to Say You Dig the Backseat," "Uneasy Hearts Weigh the Most," and "Carl Barker," as well as newer favorites like "We Own the Night," "Death of a Strawberry," and "Chucky vs. the Giant Tortoise." The band is also known for having multiple vocalists throughout its history. Since 2024, Andrew Wells has served as Dance Gavin Dance's lead vocalist.
On Saturday, April 25, 2026, Valley Bar hosted an intimate but emotionally charged stop on Letdown.’s U.S. headlining tour—his second-to-last before wrapping the run. Despite a rocky start, the night ultimately delivered the kind of raw, communal experience that defines his growing fanbase.
The Only The Poets concert on April 24, 2026, at Niebo in Warsaw was one of those nights that right away showed just how close the band is with their Polish fans. From the first moment, it was clear this wasn’t going to be an ordinary gig. The setlist hit a sweet spot, mixing tracks from their debut album, “And I’d Do It Again,” with older songs from earlier EPs. That way, every fan had something to latch onto, no matter which phase of the band’s music they connected with most.
Across the pond from London, England, The Last Dinner Party combines a variety of sounds and aesthetics, embodying a kind of medieval indie rock with a cool-girl, ethereal flair. Their first single, “Nothing Matters,” gained popularity throughout 2023 and into 2024, followed by several additional releases that would later appear on their debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy, released in early February 2024. This past October, they released their second album, From the Prye.
There's something about a sold-out club show that a stadium just can't replicate. The ceiling feels lower, the bass hits harder, and the sweat - everyone's sweat - becomes a communal experience. That was very much the vibe at Kwadrat on Sunday night, where British rock outfit Leap brought their Entropy Tour to Krakow for what turned out to be a genuinely memorable evening.
Franklin Music Hall is known for being one of those bigger venues that has a special intimate feeling to it, but nothing could’ve prepared you for the energy that packed those doors for The Maine on April 17th. The line for the doors was full of green to support The Maine’s newest album “Joy Next Door’ that released on April 10th. From themed friendship bracelets, to strangers meeting in line and sharing a love for the bands, it was nothing short of heartwarming. Seeing The Maine and standing in that crowd is nostalgic and familiar, you can't help but feel the intense good vibes from everyone in the room
Boys Like Girls are pop-rock staples responsible for some of the most screamable anthems of the 2000s — you know them, you love them, and you definitely had at least one of their songs on your iPod. They are currently on “The Soundtrack of Your Life” tour, performing their debut 2006 self-titled album and their 2009 sophomore release Love Drunk in full (yes, both — we’re being fed). On the tour, they brought along iDKHOW, formerly known as I Dont Know How But They Found Me along with Arrows and Action. They pulled up to The Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ to a completely sold-out room and casually delivered the performance of a lifetime.
