This is one of those weekends where you wish you could be in two, three or seven places at once. Some big names, like Ellie Goulding, R. Kelly, Jon McLaughlin, Miranda Lambert, Dead & Company and Kurt Vile are here between Thursday and Saturday. What a wonderful problem to have.
Times listed are when the show is scheduled to start, not when the doors are opened. Unless otherwise noted, prices are before taxes and fees.
Agenda Picks
- 6/9: Bloodkin, Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons; Rabbit Hole, 9 p.m., $15 (tickets). Thursday night features two rock & roll groups known for their songwriting, as both have written songs made famous by other bands, and their live performances.
- 6/11: Kurt Vile & The Violators, Your Friend; Amos’ Southend, 9 p.m., $20-$22 (tickets). The co-founder of The War on Drugs left the band in 2008 and started working with The Violators, his studio and touring band. His sixth album, B’lieve I’m Goin Down…, came out last fall.
