One of my top venues for the summertime - Thompson’s Point is unlike anywhere else. There is ample lawn space for blankets and chairs if you want to have a chill concert going experience, or you can head up to the barricade for a more immersive jam s...
Thompson's Point
I was pleasantly surprised by this venue! Incredibly intimate, the Paradise has great views and a cool vibe. I have seen two metal shows here and they were some of the best experiences I have had!
Paradise Rock Club
I feel like this venue has aged like fine wine. Portland’s alternative scene is wild, but the staff and security are always on it. I have never seen so much crowd surfing in my life and it’s amazing to watch their security staff work to safely get th...
State Theatre
I really enjoyed this NYC venue for its club like atmosphere and the balcony views. Completely unassuming on the outside, Terminal 5 is probably my favorite venue I’ve been to in the city so far.
Terminal 5
Very cool venue on the outer edge of Boston. The staff was great to us when we went to the Aurora concert with my friend that has disabilities. They brought us a chair for her and kept checking in on her through the night. Would definitely see more s...
Roadrunner
Another newer Boston venue I’ve been to twice - I really like it here. I love being able to mobile order food and drinks, views are great, and traffic flow was not too terrible. Also loved hopping up to the outdoor bar prior to taking our seats for M...
MGM Music Hall at Fenway
This venue is super unique by virtue of being in Central Park. Not being NYC natives, it took us way longer to find it than I’d like to admit, but once we arrived it was such a vibe. I’d see another show here, but I don’t think anyone could top Auror...
SummerStage in Central Park
If I have to see an arena or stadium show, TD Garden is my favorite. While they have changed how they utilize their entrances & exits for lines, the flow of the venue is still good. There’s plenty of food options if you find yourself a bit peckis...
TD Garden
Bangor has been getting some great names in recent years and this venue makes the hike worth it. I like the lawn a lot, with excellent visibility and great sound through the whole venue. Prices for food and parking are on par with other larger venues...
Maine Savings Amphitheater
Went to a show here for the first time since 2014 and the venue still holds up. Getting in was easy and the show was phenomenal! Shout out to the bar tender that gave me free popcorn at the end of the night when my blood sugar was low, even as they w...
House of Blues Boston
My experiences here have been 66% positive - great staff, cool vibes, stellar performances. My first show here left a bad taste in my mouth due to some jerks heckling the artist and getting beer dumped on me by a drunk tourist, but that’s not the ven...

Enhance your experience and lock in!
As an avid concert goer these things have saved my hearing and helped my overall experience! As someone who can get overwhelmed with certain types of noise (specifically crowds screaming and cheering in small spaces), my Loops have really allowed me ...
Loop Experience 2
I love Baggus because they fold into themselves and fit into pocket or small bag. Great for those big on hitting the merch booths without needing to worry about bag size at security, Recently went to the Stray Kids show in Queens and this was a life ...
Standard Baggu
A lot of outdoor venues are allowing empty water bottles and providing refill stations! Check the rules of the venue, grab your favorite water bottle, and stay hydrated! This is my personal favorite out of my collection right now!
Phoebe Wahl Water Bottle
Get yourself a clear bag - I promise it will make your life so much easier! I prefer a fanny pack/belt bag style, so I can wear it on my waist or as cross body (I definitely like to change its position through the night). It makes bag check a breeze ...
White Lined Clear Toaster Bag by Make Market®
This has been my favorite portable charger I’ve tried - the percentage display is clear and the charge is fast! It also has lasted longer than others, lasting 6+ hours on one trip I took! Bonus points for being pink.

Approach with Caution
Aside from my beef with the owner of this venue, Gillette Stadium is for sure on the list of venues I PRAY my favorite artists stay away from. Larger concerns surrounding parking (and the cost of “better” parking sitting somewhere between $75-$200), ...
Gillette Stadium
Is it gorgeous? Yes. Is the seating tight? Also yes. As a plus size girl with anxiety, I found it hard to focus on the show and get comfortable in the balcony seating. The sound was great and the staff was lovely, but I don’t seek out shows here pure...
