Brighton Music Hall Concert Venue / Music Venue

One of the reasons why Allston earned its infamous moniker “Allston Rock City” is due to small rock club Brighton Music Hall. Its predecessor, Harpers Ferry, opened its doors in 1970 and provided a venue for local and headlining rock bands for forty years, shaping the soul of the neighborhood to the hipster and punk rocker haven it is today. The transition to Brighton Music Hall occurred in 2010, but the legacy of Harpers’ high-energy indie rock shows carries on. The 340-seat capacity venue has a different show each night of the week, and concerts at Brighton Music Hall have featured acts such as the Naked and Famous, Will Dailey, Bang Camaro, Ben Lee, Grouplove, and Rusted Root in its two-year tenure. Because parking is tight in Allston, it’s advisable to take the T; the club is only a block away from the Harvard Avenue stop on the Green line B train. And don’t worry about getting lost – there’s often a line of Converse-wearing kids stretching down the block before a show.
