Concerts

Mt. Joy brings their memorable and joyous 10 year celebration to the shores of Cleveland. People stretched across the parking lot, waiting in line for Jacob’s Pavillion. The line buzzed with excitement for Mt.Joy’s show that evening. Clevelander’s couldn’t have asked for better weather, the sun beginning to set against the city skyline. The Pavillion was already packed with people inside and out. Being situated on the edge of the river, people showed up in boats, paddleboard

The Drive Home — Where Do You Belong? EP Release Party — May 30, 2026

Confetti cannons, wrecking-ball breakdowns, and a stripped-down singalong, Electric Callboy closed out North America with the most ridiculous, most sincere party in the room.

On May 27, the Music Hall of Williamsburg was full of energy from the second the night started, and honestly, the entire performance was carried so well by Em Beihold herself. The crowd was clearly excited to see her, and you could feel it throughout the entire venue. Everybody was singing along, cheering loudly after every song, and matching Em’s energy the entire night. It never felt dull for even a second.

Headlined by legendary provocateurs Lords of Acid and backed by an eclectic lineup that ranged from glam-pop spectacle to dark wave intensity, the

Some concerts give you a setlist. Some give you a moment. On Tuesday night at the Fox Theatre, Charlie Puth gave Detroit both, and somewhere in the middle of it, he stopped everything for a kid with a poster and a four-month-old piano habit.

With booming sing-alongs, flickering box TVs, and emotional callbacks to their earliest records, Boys Like Girls delivered the ultimate pop-rock time machine.

Twenty-four North American dates kicked off in a sold-out Sterling Heights amphitheater on a Friday night in May, where the temperature dropped from fifty to the thirties before YUNGBLUD ever hit the stage. By the time the lights went down, the amphitheater was speckled with snow.

From the outset, the room was shoulder-to-shoulder and fully engaged, less a passive early crowd and more a group that had arrived with intent. Sundots performing at House of Blues in Chicago, IL.

There's something about seeing a band at the right moment. Before things get too big and the room gets too crowded, it makes the show feel more personal. And at a venue like Mercury Lounge that has helped launch names like Lady Gaga, nights as intimate as these might be a famous piece of history later. Tonight, People I’ve Met feel like they are right on the edge of glory days.

West 22nd made a stop at Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland on the tail end of their ‘to be or not to be” tour. The group was originally going to play at the 148-capacity Beachland Tavern, but due to high demand, they moved to the larger stage. Despite the cold and rainy spring weather in Cleveland, Beachland was warm and inviting. The crowd was buzzing with excitement and was ready to make some memories.

Almost Here’s 20th anniversary tour shone as a living, breathing love letter to the 2000s. Article & Photos by Vaneza Gutiérrez Wyckoff There are shows that feel like concerts, and then there are shows that feel like stepping through a wormhole in time. The Academy Is…’s Almost Here 20th Anniversary tour landed firmly in the latter, pulling the crowd headfirst into the glittering, angst-laced heartbeat of the mid-2000s and refusing to let go.

Article & Photos contributed by Rebecca McDevitt If you have never seen The Maine live, Friday night at Franklin Music Hall would have been the perfect introduction. The five-piece rock band out of Tempe, Arizona have been at this since 2007, eighteen years and ten studio albums deep, and they perform like a band that genuinely cannot believe they still get to do this. Their latest record, Joy Next Door, dropped just last week and they brought it straight to the road with the

And expect to try not to pee yourself, because apparently he was attempting the same after drinking enough fluid to keep a fading voice alive through a full arena set.
