On Sale @ Paradise and Brighton Music Hall: Touché Amoré, Surfer Girl, and more
There was a lot to Lament about 2020, but it’s time to move on — for me, you, and Touché Amoré. The Los Angeles post-hardcore band returns this fall with their first new album and tour in four years, unleashing Spiral in a Straight Line in October via Rise Records and crashing Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on November 3. The new record was produced by Ross Robinson and features guests like Boygenius’ Julien Baker and Lou Barlow of Dinosaur Jr. The first lethal dose of sonic architecture arrives in “Nobody’s,” a firely lead single that sets an immediate tone. “‘Nobody’s’ is the opening track on our upcoming album, Spiral in a Straight Line. In just a handful of lyrics, it gives the broad strokes of the album,” offers up Touché Amoré vocalist Jeremy Bolm. “A song and record about forward movement while everything around you becomes destabilized.” Sounds like 2024. Tickets go on sale Friday (July 26) at 10 a.m. local time.
On Sale @ MGM Music Hall at Fenway: Kehlani, Sarah McLachlan, and more
With all the distracted talk of “happy hour” returning to Massachusetts, Kehlani is busy out here delivering the late-night “After Hours” vibes we really need. The Bay Area R&B artist brings her Crash World tour to Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway on September 17, with FLO and Anycia on board, riding high on their new album of the same name and thumping May single, which scored Kehlani a Top 5 hit on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart. June’s Crash, which features Jill Scott, Young Miko and Omah Lay, did even better; peaking at Number 2 on Billboard’s Top R&B albums chart. “For a long time, I’ve been not afraid of how I’ve been perceived musically, but I had a lot of being very apologetic in my personhood, for who I am, for anything I’ve done, for anything I had to be corrected on for any way I’ve shown up in the world,” Kehlani tells Essence. “In this album specifically, I am just gonna talk and not hold back. I’m going to talk as if I was talking to my very best friend.” That’s us. We’re all the BFF. Tickets go on sale on Friday (July 26) at 10 a.m. local time.

Scattered afternoon rain expected in Boston with much warmer temperatures
We're turning the corner into warmer temperatures Thursday. With a front passing, we run the risk of a pop-up storm later this afternoon.

Most importantly, the front will switch out airmasses, giving us a push of less humid air at the tail end of the day.
