In 2023, alt-pop powerhouse BOYS LIKE GIRLS made a long-awaited return with Sunday At Foxwoods, their first album in over a decade. The record is a beautiful meeting of their melody-driven pop anthems delivered with the maturity of a band that had many years of growth in between. A bold reintroduction that resonated with a new generation of listeners while igniting the hearts of longtime fans.
After writing and producing for artists like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Jason Derulo, frontman and songwriter Martin Johnson, brought a sharpened pen and a deeper sense of purpose back to the mic. With renewed energy, the whole band returned to a sold-out show on their hometown stage at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park with something to prove.
The Homecoming captures that night as unfiltered, electric, and unforgettable.
Today, they announce the September 8 release of THE HOMECOMING (LIVE FROM THE MGM MUSIC HALL AT FENWAY PARK). Pre-save it here.
The band recorded their 100-minute set in Boston on October 26, 2023 for this live album, which captures BLG in their most natural state — on the stage.
BLG have also shared the video for "BLOOD AND SUGAR (LIVE)." Watch it below.
About the live album, Johnson shares:
"Fenway Park. The shrine. The cathedral of Boston. Where curses broke, where beers were spilled, where you can feel the city's heartbeat under green tin and red clay. You don’t just visit Fenway — you belong to it. I was baptized in peanut shells and piss-warm Bud Light. I sat in seats older than my grandfather's bad decisions and prayed to the church of Big Papi. It was ours. And then… they dug under it. Right into the bones of Lansdowne Street — into the bedrock of garage bands, bar fights, and rat nests the size of golden retrievers. They carved out the MGM Music Hall like a secret lair, a rebel bunker under the battlefield.
"I came up with a generation raised on Dunkin' Donuts and driven half-mad by traffic on Storrow Drive. We were kids with guitars slung over our backs like bayonets, howling through rusted-out PA systems in the backrooms of American Legions, screaming songs into the linoleum void of church basements while the Sox blew another lead in the 7th. We grew up in the shadow of the Big Dig — a $22 billion pothole we all paid for with our sanity — swallowing granite and history, trying to make room for a future nobody asked for. But under all that concrete? Something was rumbling.
BLG will embark on a slew of upcoming tour dates that run through October. The band has also announced several festival appearances and will be serving as support to The Jonas Brothers through October, as well. So it's a busy few months of touring ahead Get tickets here.
