There is only one thing better than streaming your favorite artists’ music: seeing them live in concert! Thankfully, Boston is a tour stop for many of our favorite artists within the next six months.
On April 1 and 2 in the TD Garden, Olivia Rodrigo will be touring her “Guts Tour.” She began her career as an actress but over the years pivoted to singing and songwriting. Following the success of her debut album Sour, for which she received three Grammys, Rodrigo became a favorite for many young adults who relate to her songs about growing up as a teenager.
Continuing their busy schedule, AJR is performing as part of “The Maybe Man Tour” on April 3 and 4 — also at the TD Garden. They accomplished their goal of selling out a stadium in Boston, prompting them to add another tour date. You might recognize their song “World’s Smallest Violin” as a popular TikTok trend last summer.
If you love classic rock, you are in luck because the Rolling Stones are coming to Boston on May 30 to perform in Gillette Stadium as part of their “Hackney Diamonds Tour.” Known as the greatest rock and roll band of all time, they were the first band to ever perform at Gillette when it was first built. The Rolling Stones have been active for the past seven decades, but each show is still a unique experience.
This summer is also jam packed with artists on tour, such as Melanie Martinez for her “The Trilogy Tour.” She will be performing in the TD Garden on June 7. Known for her appearance on The Voice, she has been compared to Lana Del Rey and Lorde in her vocal style. Not only does Martinez have an amazing set of pipes, but she also has her own lipstick line: Lime Crime: Unicorn Lipstick.
Canadian artist Tate McRae will also be visiting Boston on her “Think Later Tour.” You can see her on August 9 in the MGM Music Hall at Fenway. As a friend of Rodrigo, she was featured in the “bad idea, right” music video. McRae rose to fame due to her prominence in dance competitions and on YouTube. Her most popular song, which inspired the Tube Girl trend, is “Greedy,” the lead single from her Think Later album.
And to end your summers, P!NK will be coming to Boston for her 2024 “Summer Carnival” show. She will be performing at Gillette Stadium on August 21. This is her eighth tour and she is promoting her new album Trustfall. P!NK always puts on the best performance with her astounding voice and acrobatics.
This will be an exciting year for music fans of all genres and each show, even beyond the ones mentioned, will be sure to create unforgettable memories.
