If you don’t know about SOPHIE’s upcoming gig in Boston, it’s probably because it’s not even listed on her website. It’s also probably because it’s taking place on a damn boat in Boston Harbor.
Together Festival and Resident Advisor have partnered to host a dance-pop party at sea, featuring the metallic electronica of SOPHIE and DOSS on September 28 — insert a “Is It Cold In The Water?” pun here.
Following the summer release of her album Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-Insides, the Scottish producer, DJ, and songwriter will make a low-key stop in Boston as a part of her limited North American fall tour.
The boat pulls away from 60 Rowes Wharf at 8 p.m. and loops back by 11 p.m., giving you a solid three hours to hang with SOPHIE with nowhere for her to hide from your fanatic, fangirling self.
Together Festival, an electronic music-focused collection of Boston-based events and concerts, typically takes place in May, but this year spans from September 23 to 30. Other artists scheduled to take the stage (or deck) as a part of the 2018 festivities include Honey Dijon, The Black Madonna, and Mall Grab, as well as Boston acts Bamboozle, Fox, and Lenore. You can peep the full lineup here.
