Daily Email - Friday - 4/24/2026

I almost went over my bike’s handlebars yesterday thanks to a pothole that was bigger than my kitchen. The good news is it’s almost construction season, so I can see exactly which streets to avoid for the time being.

You know what’s way less dangerous than Boston roads? Concerts. We’ve got a pair of tickets to see Dave at MGM Music Hall next week with your name on them. Enter to win.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • $30 concert tickets? Yeah, you read that right. Live Nation is slashing prices on over 4,000 shows. Set a reminder, tickets go on sale April 29th for the Summer of Live.*

  • Ready to add some heat to your calendar? Khalid’s It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour hits Boston next month, bringing some much-needed sunshine. Enter to win a pair of tickets plus a meet and greet experience!*

  • A 1,200-drone light show is turning the Boston sky into a Harry Potter spectacle this summer. The first-of-its-kind show features live music and LED wristbands to interact with the magic.

  • After lighting up the Coachella stage, Karol G is taking Tropicoqueta on the road and stopping at Gillette on September 12th. Tickets drop April 28th.

We found a way to be nosy and call it networking. The Local’s List is our weekly excuse to chat with cool people doing cool things around Boston. This week, we’re in the photo pit with Samantha Davidson, a concert photographer capturing some of the biggest names in music. You’ve seen her work on our feed and she was recently nominated for Live Music Photographer of the Year at the Boston Music Awards.
