WMBR’s Pipeline is four events into its massive 13-show 50 Years Of Boston Rock extravaganza, and like any multi-venue, multi-week, very-multi-band festival, there’s bound to be some ongoing changes to the lineups, especially with so many older bands from yesteryear stepping up to have another swing at the rock and roll pinata.
50 Years Of Boston Rock organizer Bob Dubrow hit us up last night with the updated lineups, and we’re going to keep it simple and relay the info as presented. Things pick back up Friday at Arlington’s Regent Theatre and conclude October 12 at the Middle East in Cambridge, with seven jam-packed shows in between.
There’s a lot of rock here, so be careful as you scan the list of performers below. Advance tickets are available via the corresponding links and/or Ticketmaster.
