Time Out says

Boston's major outdoor venue — the name of which seems to change every few years — is pleasantly located on the waterfront in the ever-buzzing Seaport District. It usually operates from May to October, featuring mainly mainstream rock, pop and R&B acts, with a sprinkling of contemporary newcomers. The pavilion is basically a large, all-seated tent, with an extensive concourse at the rear. Many gig-goers prefer to buy the cheaper concourse tickets, so that they can party at the back.

What’s on

Gin Blossoms

Gin Blossoms and Blues Traveler bring a night of ’90s alternative rock and rootsy jam energy to the stage, pairing two bands whose songs have remained staples of radio, road trips and live singalongs for decades. Gin Blossoms’ melodic guitar pop and Blues Traveler’s harmonica driven sound offer a lineup built around recognizable hooks, musicianship and a catalog that still connects with longtime fans. The appeal is in hearing these bands outside the nostalgia loop, as live performers who continue to reinterpret the songs that defined a generation of listeners. It’s a fitting night for anyone who appreciates smart songwriting, extended jams and the easygoing spirit of ’90s rock. Expect a crowd ready to revisit familiar favorites while enjoying the chemistry of two seasoned touring acts sharing a bill.

The Fray

For a lot of people, The Fray soundtracked an entire era. Whether it was How to Save a Life, Over My Head or You Found Me, their songs have a way of transporting you back to a specific moment before you've even finished the first chorus. The band's return to the road is equal parts nostalgia trip and reminder of just how many hits they've quietly amassed over the years. Seeing them outdoors at Leader Bank Pavilion only adds to the appeal, with the harbor setting lending itself to the kind of summer concert where everyone seems to know the words. If you grew up in the 2000s, don't be surprised if this ends up feeling less like a concert and more like an evening spent revisiting the soundtrack of your younger years.
