Bright Eyes at House of Blues

Bright Eyes

Indie-folk-rock trailblazers Bright Eyes have revealed the massive news that they are returning in 2025 with their brand new tour. The Omaha group comprised of singer-songwriter Conor Oberst, producer and multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis and pianist Nate Walcott have signed to Dead Oceans (home to Khruangbin, Phoebe Bridgers and Dirty Projectors among others).

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds at Agganis Arena

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

With style that would make the devil jealous, the compelling Nick Cave is one of indie rock's most unique front-men. As the leader of The Bad Seeds, he cuts the figure of a doomed romantic anti-hero, delivering layered narratives with a maniacal fever, yet always enthralling. In a career that has spanned over two decades and myriad studio albums, they continue to perform with the intensity of band half their age, ever-evolving and never disappointing.
