Airacuda at Church of Boston – Selected by Matt
Besides the fact that their name’s really fun to say, Berklee alumni Airacuda has cooked up a surprisingly unique fusion of contemporary indie and classic rock elements. With impressive flashes of jazz and upbeat funk, these guys are sure to have Church dancing.

Nils Frahm at Brighton Music Hall – Selected by Knar
A description like “a young German composer” makes Frahm sound like a boring bloke. Rest assured, the array of electronic sounds that will bounce around Brighton on Sunday night will be anything but. I mean the guy has played drums with $2 Ikea toilet brushes, for goodness sake.
50 Cent and G-Unit at House of Blues – Selected by Jon
When Fiddy’s not challenging Floyd Mayweather to read a page of a Harry Potter book, he’s performing with his hip-hop group G-Unit (G-Unit’s still a thing???). You can find me in da club, pretending it’s 2003.

Dillon Francis at House of Blues – Selected by TK
Why you should see him? “Signed to Diplo’s Mad Decent label, Dillon Francis is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to bass-crushing electro, trap, and sexy moombahton bangers. Plus, he has one of the best artist personas out there.”
