Pigeons Playing Ping Pong will close out 2026 with a two-night New Year’s Eve run in Boston, performing at Brighton Music Hall on Wednesday, December 30, and House of Blues Boston on Thursday, December 31.
Big Blitz will join the opening night, while TAUK will help the band ring in 2027 on New Year’s Eve.
The newly announced run offers two distinct settings for the band’s year-end celebration, beginning with an intimate performance at Brighton Music Hall before expanding into the full-scale spectacle of House of Blues Boston.
Together, the shows promise the deep improvisation, playful surprises, and high-energy crowd connection that have made Pigeons Playing Ping Pong’s New Year’s performances a cornerstone of the band’s live calendar.
The Boston dates will cap another busy year for the Baltimore psychedelic funk band. Powered by its eighth studio album, Feed the Fire, released in October 2025, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong have spent 2026 performing at venues and festivals across the country.
The band’s evolving live sound has also been energized by regular guest keyboardist Jon Brady, who will join Pigeons Playing Ping Pong at the 2026 edition of Domefest, set for August 6–8 at ACE Adventure Resort in West Virginia’s New River Gorge.
From there, the band will embark on an extensive fall tour culminating with three nights at Brooklyn Bowl in New York.
Nearly two decades into their career, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong continue to sharpen their precision and chemistry without sacrificing the colorful energy and unpredictability that keep The Flock returning night after night.
Artist presale tickets and VIPPPP Meet & Greet Packages are available beginning Tuesday, July 28, at noon ET through Thursday, July 30, at 10 p.m. local time. The presale password is PPPPNYE.
