The Berklee Popular Music Institute (BPMI) is gearing up for its 23rd annual showcase, set to take place on Friday, April 25th, at Brighton Music Hall. This highly anticipated event will feature seven standout artists handpicked by BPMI’s 2025 student cohort, offering audiences an exclusive first look at rising stars before they take the stages of major music festivals.
BPMI Live, the institute’s innovative three-semester experiential education program, bridges the gap between the classroom and the live music industry. This year’s carefully curated lineup includes Park National, Glasshouse, Ringpop!, Ryan Mead, Dipsea Flower, Archon Theory, Jesse Detor, and Axel & Lolo—a diverse mix of talent spanning hip-hop, pop-punk, hard rock, country, and beyond.
These artists will soon be performing at some of the world’s most esteemed festivals, including Governors Ball, Vans Warped Tour, Bourbon & Beyond, Inkcarceration, and the Great Escape (UK), with even more festival placements to be announced.
The showcase is proudly sponsored by Citizens Live and presented in partnership with Live Nation New England. As a general admission event, tickets are expected to sell quickly. Get your tickets here!
