X The Band at Tupelo Music Hall

X The Band

You might be forgiven for getting them confused with a certain rebranded social media platform, but a place to shout into the void they are not.

Some dates are already sold out, so get your tickets while you can.

Bowling For Soup at House of Blues

Bowling For Soup

If you need a dose of unpretentious, instantly catchy pop-punk, then there are few better bands to see than Bowling for Soup.

Get ready to have fun with Bowling For Soup this year!

Korn at Xfinity Center

Korn

Get ready to raise those fists in the air, Korn are heading to LA for the 30th Anniversary of their self-titled album Korn'.

Highly Suspect at Roadrunner

Highly Suspect

Formed in 2000 in their hometown of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, hard-rocking power trio Highly Suspect started out as a cover band, before relocating to Brooklyn to record their first EP of original material The Worst Humans.

Spafford

Having enjoyed a stratospheric rise to fame jam-band extraordinaire Spafford hit the road in a brand new tour!
