V3 Weekend, Vanyaland’s curated guide to weekend entertainment, is here to help you navigate through a cluster of live music events.
This weekend is particularly packed with talent across three notable venues in Boston.
Kicking off tonight (April 18), the Atlanta duo hey, nothing is set to perform at Brighton Music Hall.
They are rolling out on a headlining tour, humorously declaring to their audience: “happy birthday clams! we’re going tour this spring. Absolutely no freakin glitter at these shows.”
Fans can expect a captivating performance as they bring The 33° Tour, named after their latest single, to Allston.
The duo shared that the song tells a poignant story using the metaphor of a boy driven to the edge of a dangerous lake by personal turmoil.
It explores themes of emotional distress, family dynamics, and modern society’s pressures, offering a deep dive into the turbulent minds of youth grappling with their realities.
This show is already sold out, highlighting the excitement surrounding the duo’s rise in the music industry.
Meanwhile, across town at the House of Blues, indie-rock veterans Bright Eyes are also gracing the stage this evening (April 18).
Led by Conor Oberst, the beloved project is known for its profound lyrics and emotive sound.
On this extensive tour, Bright Eyes will showcase their new material following the release of their record Five Dice, All Threes.
With songs like the punchy recent single “Rainbow Overpass,” fans can expect an energetic performance.
Oberst describes the collaboration on the track with horns and vocals from Alex Orange Drink of The So So Glos, noting that it adds incredible energy that translates beautifully in a live setting.
Tickets range from $54.50 to $79.50, allowing a wide array of fans the chance to see this iconic band live.
As if that isn’t enough, Lucy Dacus will be performing at MGM Music Hall at Fenway this holiday weekend, with shows scheduled for Sunday and Monday (April 20 and 21).
The Virginia-born singer-songwriter has become a beloved figure in the indie and folk genre, especially following the release of her latest album, Forever Is A Feeling, in March.
Dacus recently reflected on the album, stating, “I got kicked in the head with emotions,” describing her inspiration stemming from the experiences of love and loss.
Faun, her tour will feature support acts from Katie Gavin and jasmine.4.t, adding to the anticipated ambiance of her performances.
With a record featuring a remarkable roster of collaborators including Hozier, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julien Baker, Dacus is poised to have a mesmerizing impact.
Her recently released single “Ankles” encapsulates her delicate yet powerful style, drawing audiences into her introspective songwriting.
In a weekend filled with diverse musical experiences—from the emotional storytelling of hey, nothing to the genre-blending sounds of Bright Eyes, and the poignant artistry of Lucy Dacus—Bostonians have much to look forward to.
Fans should seize the moment to be part of these exceptional live performances, making memories that last well beyond the weekend.
