Boys Like Girls

Boys Like Girls are back, and if you’ve ever screamed along to “The Great Escape” in a friend’s car, you know exactly why this show matters. Their knack for crafting hooks that stick in your head for weeks hasn’t faded, and neither has the energy they bring to a live set. This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake—there’s a real sense of fun in how they revisit their catalog, and the crowd’s singalongs feel earned, not forced. The band’s Massachusetts roots always come through when they play here, and the setlists tend to get a little extra love as a result. If you’re looking for a night that’s equal parts throwback and genuinely good time, this is the one to circle on your calendar. Just be ready to lose your voice by the end.
