Billy Joel will play Gillette in September with Stevie Nicks!
(Photo by Mark Metcalfe/Getty Images)We're lucky to live in a city that has concert venues of all sizes. We get to see up and coming rockers in tiny clubs. There are beautiful theaters for midsize acts. And of course we have TD Garden and Gillette for those mega act shows.
To help with your gift giving this Christmas season, here are my 10 picks for every member of the family. There are options for each gift recipient you might be buying for.
Billy Joel & Stevie Nicks @ Gillette
It gets no bigger than this. We just got word Stevie Nicks and Billy Joel are bringing their stadium tour to New England. The show will be September 23 at Gillette.
Or your LAST chance to see Foreigner is next summer at The Xfinity Center August 5. It's their farewell tour so mark the calendar. Loverboy will play that one too.
Kane Brown @ Fenway
Kane Brown is one of those crossover country/pop acts that I love seeing do well. I first met Kane just before he blew up. He had just quit a reality TV show that wanted to turn him into a boyband act. He said no thanks and built a social media following and now headlines arenas around the country. He'll be at Fenway Park June 23.
Louis Tomlinson's name might not ring a bell. But he was one of the members of One Direction. His solo tour comes to MGM Music Hall at Fenway July 24.
Taylor Swift @ Gillette
Listen, if money is no object, you can't make them any happier than by somehow scoring tickets to see Taylor Swift at Gillette Stadium May 20. But you've no doubt heard about the nightmares of trying to get those tickets.
Another solid option is Ed Sheeran at Gillete Stadium July 1. But this ticket won't be cheap either.
Blink 182 @ the Garden
They're getting along again. 90s pop punk Gods Blink 182 are back together and will play TD Garden May 21.
For a more uniquely Boston experience, see the Dropkick Murphys at MGM Music Hall at Fenway March 18. Their live shows have incredible energy and even those who aren't big music fans will get to hear the anthem of our Boston teams...
