Iration Brings Free-Spirited Vibes to Boston

Written by: Kaitlyn Musgrove

BOSTON - On May 31st 2026 after a cold, rainy spring day, Iration came to bring a taste of sunshine and summer to The House of Blues Boston on their Where it all Began Tour.

The East Coast group Bumpin Uglies kicked off the night with their free-spirited blend of reggae and punk. They set the perfect mood for the evening, and got everyone hyped up for what was to come. 

Bringing the feel-good vibes next was SoCal group, Tribal Seeds. Their energy on stage was simply contagious - you’d forgotten that it was currently raining and 55 degrees outside the doors of the House of Blues. They transported you to a sunny beach day, sipping on an ice cold drink by the water. Their blend of reggae and rock was perfectly balanced, and their crowd interaction was simply unmatched. You could clearly see they loved entertaining as much as we loved being entertained by them. 

Starting off strong with the fan favorite Already Gold, Iration took the stage and it felt like an official kick-off to a New England summer. With a stacked setlist featuring hits like Summer Nights, Daytrippin, and Stay Awake, the Hawaii natives turned the House of Blues Boston into what felt like one giant beach party.

One of the highlights was hearing the band throw it back to their earlier days, playing some older songs longtime fans would recognize. In a city where they mentioned they used to play at much smaller venues like Brighton Music Hall or Paradise Rock club, the nostalgia in the room was heavy. Even though the weather outside felt more like an early spring day, Iration turned a cold and rainy Boston night into a warm reminder that the summer concert season has officially arrived.
