Passion Pit with The Beaches @ Pier 17 5/19-5/21

If you’re looking to start your summer a bit early, here’s your chance: Passion Pit will be headlining a show at Pier 17 on May 19th and May 21st, with The Beaches coming along to support. Tickets are going fast, but will run you $40 for General Admission spots, with a GA-VIP ‘pre-show experience’ (including a private Q&A with Angelakos himself) costing $119 a pop. Doors for this show will open at 6:30pm, and the show will start an hour later at 7:30pm. Oh, and bring your kids, folks – this show is for all ages.

This performance by Passion Pit is sure to be a special one. These Pier 17 shows are part of Passion Pit’s larger tour celebrating the ten-year anniversary of their very first album, titled Manners. Manners was quite the beginning for the group, as it sparked the near-cult following and foundation for their second record, Gossamer, to reach no. 4 on the Billboard 200 after its release in 2012. Since then, they’ve essentially become a face for the ‘indietronica’ subculture, crafting infectious pop hits – some of which managed to transition into the mainstream as well (namely “Take A Walk,” “Carried Away,” and “Sleepyhead,” amongst others).

Warming up for Passion Pit on these two nights will be The Beaches, a quartet of alt-rock goodness hailing from Toronto, Ontario. After signing with Island Records in 2016, the group released their first full-length album Late Show in 2017. Music from The Beaches offers a welcome contrast from Passion Pit’s heavily electronic-leaning sound; before jamming to synth beats, the crowd will surely be head-banging to fuzzy summer jams like “Turn Me On” and “T-Shirt.” If you’re going to this show, be sure to get there early so as to not miss this gem of a group.

Melissa Aiello: Hi there, nice to meet you! My name is Melissa and I am a 24-year-old passionate lover of all things related to music and live entertainment. I've been singing since the second grade, and playing guitar for the past five years. I grew up in a fairly musical household, with my grandfather breaking out his accordion and starting sing-a-longs at every family gathering. It was here that I began falling in love with music and its power to change moods, emotions, and lives. My taste in music goes far and wide - you name it, I'll (probably) listen to it. My hundreds of Spotify playlists include everything from Biggie to ABBA to the Jonas Brothers (thank GOD they're back together) to Dolly Parton and everything in-between. I aim for my little corner of the internet to spread love and positivity for all this beautiful music, and give you the opportunity to see or hear artists you may otherwise have not heard of.
