BOYS LIKE GIRLS DEBUT “THE HOMECOMING (LIVE FROM THE MGM MUSIC HALL AT FENWAY PARK)” LIVE ALBUM & CONCERT FILM
Alternative icons Boys Like Girls released The Homecoming (Live From The MGM Music Hall At Fenway Park) live album and concert film on September 8, 2025.
Following their triumphant return in 2023 with Sunday At Foxwoods, the band was moved by the warm reception from fans and felt inspired to capture that feeling in a special way.
The band filmed their sold-out performance at Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park on October 26, 2023. Their charged performance was amplified by the 5,000 fans in attendance who poured their hearts and souls into singing along to every song the group performed in the 120-minute set.
You can listen to the live album here or watch the full film on YouTube or Veeps.
Fans had the opportunity for an even more intimate experience. In celebration of the film and album release, the band hosted a premiere of the film for a lucky fan at the Brain Dead Studios in Fairfax on September 5, 2025.
The film and live album had significant meaning to both the fans and the band. Frontman Martin Johnson spoke about the intent of the film and why they chose that show in that location to film.
"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,” Johnson continues. “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.”
"We were born in abandoned warehouse practice spaces in Haverhill humidity, Charlestown cold, and Taunton's forgotten back alleys where the floorboards creaked like old Fenway seats and the walls sweated ambition and mildew. Nights under buzzing lights, sleeping above tanning salons, hustling out of the back of Southie dance studios while the Red Line screamed overhead like it knew something we didn't. This wasn't L.A. This wasn’t Brooklyn with its oat milk and self-awareness. This was Boston — revolutionary blood in the bricks, blue-collar fists in the drywall, a city that builds bands like it builds bridges: loud, stubborn, and willing to fall apart a few times before getting it right.”
"We played Knights of Columbus halls and churches in Allston, packed with sweaty teenagers who still believed in anthems. We got hit with beer bottles and baseballs outside Bill's Bar. Those anthems carried us around the world a hundred times and back again. And then… twelve years of silence. No encores. No curtain calls. Just echoes.”
"But now — we're back. Back where it started. Under the lights in Fenway's guest house, on a stage built for second chances. A stage for believers and for those who never left the pit. This isn’t just a show. It’s a resurrection. Live from the MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park — this is Boys Like Girls. This is The Homecoming."
Boys Like Girls will be touring through the fall with multiple festival appearances. They will also be joining the Jonas Brothers on the Jonas Brothers: JONAS20 Greetings From Your Hometown tour starting on September 13.
