Next week the MGM Music Hall at Fenway will hit its seven-month anniversary. The stage has already hosted some incredible national acts that have sold out their events quickly. In its honor, we’ll reflect on the seven best concerts at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in its first seven months.
The 5,000-seat capacity room is a state-of-the-art venue to see any show. It’s adjacent to Fenway Park and around the corner from its sibling in the House of Blues. Furthermore, the triangular-shaped venue has allowed concertgoers to experience top-notch sound quality due to its unique design. There’s the floor for general admission, box seats and two levels of auditorium seats.
As baseball season nears, Lansdowne St. is bound to be the place to be in Boston. MGM has Jill Scott, Pixies and Macklemore on their upcoming schedule.
We’ll give an honorable mention nod to: Arcade Fire, The 1975, Bush, Gaslight Anthem, Morrissey, The Revivalists, Vance Joy and Adam Sandler for their memorable stops at Fenway. Here's our list of 7 of the best concerts at MGM Music Hall in its first seven months.
