Newest Boston Music Venues
Boston's already rich music scene got much-needed additional performance spaces when these two new concert stages opened last year:
- Roadrunner - 3,500 capacity performing arts center at 89 Guest Street in the Boston Landing complex Allston-Brighton. Will be the region's largest general admission standing room only venue for live indoor music performances - same owner as the Royale Boston (1,200 people) and the Sinclair (525 people) in Cambridge.
- MGM Music Hall - 5,000 capacity music venue with seating on 4 levels and (reportedly) lots of concession and lounge areas at the corner of Lansdowne and Ipswich Streets near Fenway Park - same booker-manager as House of Blues Boston located down the street.
