Before attending a show, be sure to research venue details, such as parking and bag policies, to ensure the best experience possible. For concerts around Boston, where parking is not as readily available, public transportation may be the best route. The MBTA, better known as the T, provides service to the greater Boston area. The closest station to popular concert venues and their corresponding subway/commuter rail lines is listed below:
TD Garden – North Station (All Northern Commuter Lines, Orange Line, Green Line)
Leader Bank Pavilion – Silver Line Way (Silver Line)
Fenway Park, MGM Music Hall At Fenway & Citizens House of Blues – Kenmore (Green Line)
Boch Center Wang Theatre – Tufts Medical Center (Orange Line)
Agganis Arena – Amory Street (Green Line)
Gillette Stadium – Foxboro (Foxboro/Franklin Line, Foxboro Event Service)
Doors typically open around 60 to 90 minutes before the first performers take the stage, but this may vary by show. Similarly, many venues have a cutoff time due to noise curfews, which can range from 10:00 PM to 11:30 PM.
From the pit to the nosebleeds, listening to your favorite musicians live is an incomparable experience. If you find yourself in the New England area this summer, you may just find the opportunity to hear your playlist in a whole new way.
