Earl Sweatshirt isn’t a household name, but on the evening of Black Friday in Boston, you would have had no idea. About 1000 lucky fans braved the cold and got to see a special rap show. Earl Sweatshirt and The Alchemist hit Boston's Royale for a show that felt like the kind of thing you'll be able to say, 'I was there for it,' in a few years.

As Taylor Swift took to the stage at Gillette Stadium for her third of three sold-out nights, there was another ticket in town that was seemingly just as hard to get - Blink 182. Reunited at Coachella for the first time and now on a full tour, the hype didn’t disappoint.
