The Berklee Popular Music Institute (BPMI) will host its 23rd annual showcase, featuring seven artists handpicked by its 2025 student cohort, on Friday, April 25, at Brighton Music Hall. In just a few months, these artists will be performing on the stages of major music festivals alongside some of the world’s most esteemed artists.
BPMI Live, the institute's three-semester experiential education program, provides students with the opportunity to extend their skills beyond the classroom and into the live music industry. This year’s BPMI Live stars include Park National, Glasshouse, Ringpop!, Ryan Mead, Dipsea Flower, Archon Theory, Jesse Detor, and Axel & Lolo. Representing genres ranging from hip-hop and pop-punk to hard rock and country, these artists have displayed extraordinary talent, securing spots at Governors Ball, Vans Warped Tour, Bourbon & Beyond, Inkcarceration, the Great Escape (UK), and other major festivals to be announced soon.
This year's showcase is sponsored by Citizens Live and presented in partnership with Live Nation New England. This is a general admission event. Patrons requesting accessible seating should purchase a general admission ticket and will be accommodated at the venue. There is an eight (8) ticket limit per customer.
