A guide to the opening acts of the hometown tradition’s 20th year.
After a year off, the Virginia Ska Fest returns with a new name and a massive line-up.
Annual event features the Slackers, The Pietasters, Mephiskapheles, and Westbound Train
Fresh off the Warped Tour (the website says it ended yesterday), Big D and the Kids Table have announced a fall tour stretching as far north as Canada, as far south as Georgia, and dipping into the midwest. Apparently six weeks of downtime is all you need!
We’re clearly going to The Apple Stomp, a two-day ska festival at Irving Plaza in New York City. The bill boasts a handful of the strongest current touring ska acts, but the real treat is the reunion of many defunct acts from the late 90s.

So I sort of blinked and noticed there’s a handful of great ska shows in Boston this month. And then I noticed they weren’t all listed anywhere. In the event that Bostonska.com doesn’t get around to posting them, I wanted to pull them all together. So, risking being the new guy who rolls into town and pretends he knows what’s up, I’ve got a very incomplete arbitrarily compiled list! Feel free to add more in the comments that I might have missed.
