10 Boston concerts that are close to selling out
Act fast if you want to scoop up hot tickets to The Felice Brothers, Hayley Kiyoko, Daughter, or any of these other shows.
Do you ever assume you can wait to get tickets at the door to your favorite shows, only to find that they already sold out? We consulted promoters from different venues around town—Andie Rizzolo of Crossroads Presents, Jared Dobson of Bowery Boston, and Ryan Agate of RTT Presents—to warn you about which Boston concerts are running low on tickets. If you snooze this time, don’t say we never told you so.Churchburn, Panzerbastard, Lunglust, Ritual Blade, Upheaval
Allston dive O’Brien’s will host a metal bill for the ages, and according to booker Ryan Agate, it’s showing in the presales. (Thursday, October 27 at 8 p.m.; O’Brien’s Pub; $13; 21+; with Panzerbastard, Lunglust, Ritual Blade, Upheaval; tickets available here) Mandolin Orange
North Carolina acoustic duo Mandolin Orange has been releasing pleasant folky melodies under their punny name since 2010, most recently with September’s Blindfaller. The band made quite the impression in the New England scene with its appearance at Newport Folk Festival in 2014. That could be why fans are quickly grabbing all the tickets for their November show at The Sinclair. (Tuesday, November 1 at 7 p.m.; The Sinclair; $20; 18+; with My Bubba; tickets available here) Daughter
British folkateer group Daughter released its sophomore album, Not to Disappear, this year. It spawned three singles, and the record’s success has brought the group back across the pond to Boston for the first time since its release, this time to play the larger stage of Royale. The band’s buzz is still bigger than the venue, however, which is why tickets are going quickly. (Wednesday, November 2 at 8 p.m.; Royale; $25; 18+; with Vancouver Sleep Clinic; tickets available here) Hayley Kiyoko
Disney star-turned-songwriter Hayley Kiyoko has amassed quite the following in her 25 years, with her work on screen, on the stage, and on ice as a figure skater. Her latest single, “Girls Like Girls,” has given her even more traction, particularly among the all-ages crowd, which will be allowed at the typically 18-plus Sinclair. (Friday, November 4 at 8 p.m.; The Sinclair; $15; all ages; with ARIZONA; tickets available here) Tennyson
Canadian brother-sister duo Tennyson isn’t even old enough to drink, but has carved out a signature electronic sound in their prolific five years as a band. Because of their youth, Tennyson rarely gets out to tour, particularly across the border. For this reason, expect Great Scott to pack up when the band arrives in Boston next month. (Monday, November 7 at 9 p.m.; Great Scott; $12; 18+; with Photay; tickets available here) Fight Amp
Philly punk group Fight Amp is taking one final spin around the U.S. before calling it quits, and according to O’Brien’s booker Ryan Agate, this will be the band’s last Boston show. Don’t miss your chance to see them rock Allston, along with Against The Grain, Extinction A.D., and U.S. Bastards. (Thursday, November 10 at 8 p.m.; O’Brien’s Pub; $14; 21+; with Against The Grain, Extinction A.D., U.S. Bastards; tickets available here) James Vincent McMorrow
Angelic-voiced Irishman James Vincent McMorrow has seen growing success throughout his three albums, most recently with September’s We Move, which went to number one in his home country and built him enough of a following in the States to pack up a venue like the Paradise. (Friday, November 11 at 8 p.m.; The Paradise; $22; 18+; with Dan Mangan; tickets available here) The Felice Brothers
The Felice Brothers and Spirit Family Reunion, also both Newport Folk Festival favorites, aren’t strangers to Boston, but repeatedly bring their A-game for local shows. This is why promoter Jared Dobson of Bowery Boston recommended buying tickets to this show early, saying it’s “not close to sold out now, but this show sells a lot of tickets week of the show, and I expect it will sell out.” (Saturday, November 12 at 8 p.m.; The Sinclair; $20; 18+; with Spirit Family Reunion; tickets available here) The Dillinger Escape Plan
New Jersey metalcore group The Dillinger Escape Plan is making one final stop in Boston before breaking up. The band has been releasing music for almost 20 years and has amassed quite the fanbase along the way, so expect this show to be both emotional and packed. (Wednesday, November 16 at 7 p.m.; The Paradise; $18; 18+; with O’Brother, Cult Leader, Car Bomb; tickets available here) The Paper Kites
These Australian indie-folk darlings have made waves with their two full-length records in three years, but rarely make the trip to the States. This time, the band’s show is billed as including “special guests”—all the more reason why this show is going quickly. (Saturday, November 19 at 8 p.m.; Brighton Music Hall; $15; 18+; with Horse Thief; tickets available here)
