Hotels for Steve Lacy: Oh yeah? Tour

A stadium concert built around an artist who spent years playing rooms a fraction of this size, which makes the jump outdoors and upward feel like part of the story. Tuesday nights carry a different rhythm than a weekend show — the crowd skews toward people who planned around work the next day, and the set tends to breathe a little more without a weekend's chaos pressing on it. Expect a set list built for widescreen: guitar hooks and falsetto stretched to fill open air rather than a club ceiling.

The oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, Fenway Park is a beloved Boston institution, home to the Red Sox and its famous 'Green Monster' wall, and a characterful host of summer concerts. The surrounding Kenmore and Fenway area buzzes with students, bars and restaurants, with the rest of compact Boston easily walkable.

The MBTA Green Line stops right by the park. Booking a room in Boston lets you soak up the pre-game atmosphere on foot and ride the T back with ease afterwards.
