Blondie at MASS MoCA, August 3

Blondie with And The Kids
Friday, August 3, at 7pm
Joe’s Field at MASS MoCA
Tickets on sale beginning Friday, March 30, at 10am

NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS — Pop-punk icon Blondie joins a packed summer concert lineup at MASS MoCA that includes Grizzly Bear (June 16), Ray LaMontagne with special guest Neko Case (June 29), Courtney Barnett (July 12), and The Decemberists (June 15). Be there mid-field mid-summer when Blondie rolls into town on Friday, August 3, at 7pm.

Four decades ago Blondie came howling out of New York City’s downtown scene to storm mainstream radio and nascent MTV at the very moment that punk and new wave launched a hostile takeover of popular music. The band’s major hits, Call Me, One Way or Another, Heart of Glass, and Rapture, have since become timeless. With more than 45 million albums sold worldwide to date, Blondie’s indelible influence on music and culture was recognized with its induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. The band’s most recent album, Pollinator, was named one of Rolling Stone’s 20 Best Pop Albums of 2017 and stands alongside any in its celebrated career, fielding inspiration from the band’s action-packed, cross-pollinating past. Debbie Harry endures as a force to be reckoned with — prowling the stage and belting out fan favorites with the same ferocious energy that made Blondie’s CBGB shows a thing of legend.

Northampton natives And The Kids open the evening, channeling existential crises into pop euphoria. With this sleight of hand, the quartet manages to conjure chunky indie rock, blissful new wave, chamber folk, jarring avant-garde, and brawny classic rock.

It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) rests on the ancestral homelands of the Muhheaconneok or Mohican people (People of the Waters That Are Never Still) and the Wabanaki peoples. Despite tremendous hardship in being forcibly relocated from these lands by Dutch, English, and US colonizers, today the Muhheaconneok or Mohican community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community The Wabanaki Confederacy, also known as The People of the Dawnland, include the Mi’kmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, and Abenaki Nations, who are indigenous to the lands with the English placenames Maine, Vermont, northwestern Massachusetts, and parts of Canada, and continue to reside in these areas. We pay honor and respect to these ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all. More information can be found here.
