In Between Days Festival? While our brains are boiling in a Boston Dog Days heatwave, #neverforget that this too shall pass and the autumn chill will be here before you know it. Do not go quietly into the back-to-school season! At least not without a fight. In Between Days is a new music festival for one last hurrah before the summer season ends.

The music festival is making its grand premiere at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Quincy (south shore, kehd!) on August 20th. Assuming no more MBTA cars explode into flames, you can catch the T to Quincy Center and walk over, or drive (there’s parking in the area - luxury of the suburbs), or bike, or parasail. 

Fun fact: Veterans Memorial Stadium was built in 1937-8 under the Works Progress Administration as part of the New Deal. America put people to work when they needed work and we still have the awesome stuff to show for it today!

The line-up is an indie rock playlist: 

Manchester Orchestra

Hippo Campus

Tennis

The Blue Stones

Kevin Devine

Sidney Gish

Blac Rabbit

Catbite
