The Maine In Boston, MA – April 18, 2026

On April 18th, The Maine brought their I Love You But… I Chose The Maine tour to Citizens House of Blues Boston, turning a rainy Boston night into a high energy singalong. With support from Broadside, Nightly and Grayscale, the show flowed steadily, each set adding a new layer of engird that carried throughout the night. 

Broadside kicked things off with a nostalgic pop punk set that immediately got the crowd moving. Nightly followed, shifting the tone with their polished indie pop sound and atmospheric moments that added a sense of depth to the night. Grayscale then took the stage with a slightly heavier, more emotional edge, building momentum and setting the perfect stage for the headliner.

By the time The Maine came on, the room was buzzing. From the opening notes of “Another Night on Mars” to fan favorites like “Black Butterflies and Déjà Vu,” the band delivered a set packed with both longtime staples and newer tracks. Frontman John O’Callaghan stood out for his effortless connection with the audience, balancing humor and gratitude in a way that made the packed venue feel intimate. 

The highlight of the night wasn’t just the performance, it was the connection between the band and the crowd. From start to finish, the audience was shouting every lyric back. The Maine has always thrived on that fan connection. By the final song, it was clear this wasn’t just another tour stop, it was a reminder of why their live shows continue to resonate after all these years.
