Usher - Past, Present and Future Tour

Usher’s “Past, Present and Future” Tour is my first Usher concert. Despite buying the ticket last minute, I still got a great seat. The show was a celebration of Usher's 30 year long career. It was 2 hours of non-stop action. Usher did not disappoint! He still got that smooth swagger. I loved every minute of it.

Pop2000 at Cape Cod

The Sunday after we saw Justin Timberlake , my friends and I headed down to Cape Cod to see his NSYNC bandmate, Chris Kirkpatrick with O-Town, LFO, BBMAK and Ryan Cabrera on the 2024 Pop2000 tour. Pop2000 is one of my absolute must-see concerts. You get multiple artists in one show celebrating the MTV/TRL Days. The ticket is a great deal and you are definitely guaranteed a fun time!

Justin Timberlake - Forget Tomorrow World Tour

After a long hiatus, Justin Timberlake finally returned to the concert tour stage, embarking on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour. The tour follows the release of his latest album, Everything I Thought I Was. The Forget Tomorrow World Tour made a stop in Boston for two sold out nights. The 2024 Tour is actually my first Justin Timberlake solo concert. The last time I saw Justin live was the No Strings Attached tour in 2000. I know. A long time ago! And I will say Justin delivered a high scale two-hour action packed production!

Niall Horan - The Show Live On Tour

This past month, I went to my first Niall Horan concert and my 2nd solo Directioner show. The night was filled with great music. The acoustics and sound was excellent despite the outdoor setting and screaming fans. Niall proved he truly stood out as a talented solo artist with his vocal ability and playing various instruments.

Joey Fatone & AJ McLean’s Legendary Night

In January 2024, NSYNC’s Joey Fatone and Backstreet Boy’s AJ McLean announced they will embark on a tour together across America, entitled “Joey Fatone & AJ McLean - A Legendary Night”. Originally, the tour only included nine shows on the East Coast and West Coast.As a result of the high demand, the tour unsurprisingly almost sold out within a week of ticket sales. They ended up adding more dates and shows. My friend and I were lucky enough to score VIP tickets to the sold out Boston show.

A Boy Band Christmas - An Evening of Holiday & Hits

With the holidays approaching, I can’t help but reminisce about the amazing two days of the Boy Band Christmas concert last year.

Joey McIntyre at Cape Cod

Last August, Joey McIntyre returned to his home state of Massachusetts to Hyannis, Cape Cod. Hyannis was the last stop of Joey’s Solo Joe Summer Tour on the mainland USA leg before he headed off to Hawaii. Since NKOTB announced they were not touring this year and only performing a small number of shows, I wanted to catch Joey’s live solo show.

The Pop2000 Tour Pops into Portland

Summertime means the Pop2000 Tour is in full force! The last time I was at the Pop2000 Tour was September 2022 in Stamford, CT. What made the 2023 tour extra special was BBMAK being added to the lineup. I haven't seen BBMAK since 2018. I was going to see them in 2020 before the pandemic shut everything down. In addition to BBMAK, the tour includes O-Town, LFO, and Ryan Cabrera. Chris Kirkpatrick from NSYNC returns as host.
