Few things are more frustrating to a music fan than hearing that a favorite act is coming to town, only to find out that the show is sold out. We’re here to help you avoid that pitfall — and the overpriced secondary ticket market — by consulting local experts like Mike Kersys of Live Nation, Christine Varriale of Bowery Boston, and Shawn Robidoux of The Wilbur. Below, check out a handful of live shows we’ve heard are dangerously low on tickets.
The Temptations and The Four Tops
“My Girl.” “Baby, I Need Your Loving.” For well over 50 years, the soulful sounds of The Temptations and The Four Tops have connected generations of music fans. Opportunities to see the two acts together are few and far between, so Robidoux urges you to act now: they way these tickets are selling, they won’t be here for long. (Thursday, Nov. 21 at 8 p.m.; Chevalier Theatre, Medford; $39 and up; 18+; tickets available here)
Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli are Black Star
Black Star were a favorite of music critics and savvy hip-hop fans when they debuted in the late 90s. Since then, duo members Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) and Talib Kweli have gone on to establish themselves as solo artists, but they’re bringing Black Star back to Boston’s newest venue, Big Night Live, later this month. Kersys says get your tickets now. (Friday, Nov. 29 at 8 p.m.; Big Night Live, Boston; $67.50; 21+; with DJ Frank White; tickets available here)
Amigo The Devil
Some call it “murderfolk,” others call it “punk folk.” No matter the label, the folk-based music served up by Austin-based Danny Kiranos is decidely dark. His home city just declared Nov. 16 ‘Amigo The Devil Day,’ so Mr. Kiranos is riding a high as he rolls into Boston. And tickets to his upcoming show are going fast, according to Varriale (Saturday, Nov. 30 at 8 p.m.; The Sinclair, Cambridge; $18; 18+; with King Dude and Twin Temple; tickets available here)
Hanson
The Hanson brothers have long since proven that their ubiquitous 1997 hit “MMMBop” was more than a one-hit wonder. Sixteen million records and three Top 20 albums into their career, they still inspire fans to turn out in droves. And that’s what’s happening leading up to their December gig, according to Kersys. So grab yours soon if you want to MMMBop along at the House of Blues (Friday, Dec. 20 at 6 p.m.; House of Blues, Boston; $39.50; 18+; tickets available here)
Citizen Cope
Memphis. Austin. Brooklyn. Washington D.C. Clarence Greenwood, aka Citizen Cope has been around and has stories to tell. And where he’s been has informed his sound: electic, wide-reaching, inspiring. A fistful of those inspired fans have already copped tickets to Cope; Robidoux says to get yours soon for the February show. (Friday, Feb. 14, 2020 at 8 p.m.; The Wilbur, Boston; $28 and up; 18+; tickets available here)
