Fillmore

After many delays, the 2,000-capacity club in the suburbs (a member of the franchise from famed San Francisco promoter Bill Graham) opened with a sold-out Mary J Blige show in September 2011. Since then, it’s been hard to pin down exactly where the Fillmore fits into the region’s music scene; acts have been all over the map, including classic rock (Cheap Trick) and jam bands (Trey Anastasio). Olly Murs, Rancid and Flogging Molly have also graced its stage.
