Some bands write hits, and some bands write the songs that end up soundtracking an entire decade of road trips, weddings, and lazy summer afternoons. Train falls firmly in the second category. Since the early 2000s, Pat Monahan and company have racked up Grammys and platinum plaques with "Drops of Jupiter," "Hey, Soul Sister," and "Drive By" — songs that feel less like deep cuts and more like old friends you haven't heard from in a while but instantly remember every word of. The band's knack for warm, radio-ready hooks has made them a reliable summer amphitheater draw for two decades running, with a setlist that rarely disappoints.
They headline Xfinity Center on Saturday, July 25, with Barenaked Ladies and Matt Nathanson opening, which basically guarantees you'll know every word of every song that night — three acts whose catalogs overlap in exactly the kind of comfortable, crowd-pleasing pop-rock territory that makes for a great summer evening out.
Around 9,500 fans are expected, tracking right alongside actual ticket sales. Parking opens at 3:30 PM, doors at 5 PM, and the show starts at 6:45 PM. No GA pit or lawn for this one, so it's a proper reserved-seat night.
Nostalgia nights hit different with good company and the right prep. Grab a pre-roll to share, or a vape cartridge if you'd rather keep it low-key before the drive to Mansfield.
