Here's what's in store for the Stage at Suffolk Downs this summer
Now, on the precipice of its third season – and its most robust slate of shows to date – the Stage at Suffolk Downs seems like it's off to the races at last. The venue's 2025 calendar feels like an official introduction to its capabilities as an 8,500-capacity open-air space, able to wrangle both multi-day music festivals and large-scale outdoor shows from touring artists like Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.

An appearance from alt-rock sisters Two festivals will also touch down in East Boston this year: a California-born Pride festival called , and the As the venue continues to strengthen its footing in the Boston music community, it also serves as a landing place for artists who are climbing the ladder of Bowery Boston venues, ascending to larger stages every time they return to the area. Bhatti cites Khruangbin as a prime example of this ongoing graduation; since 2016, the group has vaulted from cozier clubs like Great Scott (which has since closed) and The Sinclair to the mid-sized venues Royale and Roadrunner. When the band returns to Boston this summer on their 'A LA SALA' tour, their stop at Suffolk Downs will be the next logical step, both in terms of crowd size and setting.

The last time I heard a project on par with 'Handle With Care,' the year was 2014 and I was enjoying alt-rock demos from The Rare Occasions, a Rhode Island group who have since moved to L.A. and netted a platinum-certified single. Needless to say, the rough 'n' tumble alternative of The Ghouls's debut record gleams with promise, and I predict the Lowell band's cartwheeling youthfulness will nab them many honors beyond their current title of 2024 Rock and Roll Rumble winners.

Bloc Party concert moved to smaller venue weeks after Metric drops off tour
Bloc Party's return to Minneapolis after more than a decade is getting its second big change since being announced in February. The London-based group is on tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Silent Alarm. They were scheduled to play the entire album, as well as assorted "greatest hits," at The Armory on June 9. On Wednesday, Live Nation announced that the show has been moved from the 8,400-capacity Armory to the 1,800-capacity The Fillmore. Representatives for the venue and the band did not respond to a request for comment, but moves of this nature are frequently related to sales. If that's the case, it may not have helped that the tour lost an alluring opener. Metric was originally announced as the opener with plans to play its 2009 record Fantasies in its entirety. However, Metric dropped off the tour in April. "We were so excited going into this tour and we'd all landed on an agreement that would allow both parties to collaborate and to build a truly special show for the fans," Metric said in a statement at the time. "In the last few weeks, Bloc Party's team made some sudden production decisions that broke the agreement we'd made, which left us unable to continue despite our best efforts to find solutions." Blonde Redhead and Family Dinner have since been added to the tour. On the upside, Bloc Party fans will get a more intimate performance than they originally bargained for. Elsewhere in the Twin Cities concert world, First Avenue announced on Wednesday that DEVO's farewell tour stop at St. Paul's Palace Theatre has been rescheduled from June 18 to Nov. 15 "due to unforeseen circumstances."
