FKA twigs
MGM Music Hall at Fenway — Boston, MA

FKA twigs brought her intricate, body-focused performance art to Roadrunner in June 2025, running through 21 songs that spanned her catalog's full spectrum. She opened with "Intro" and "Perfect Stranger" before diving into deeper material like "Room of Fools" and "24hr Dog"—tracks that showcase her willingness to make music that feels both intimate and deliberately strange. The setlist leaned toward her more experimental moments, threading "Eusexua" into the rotation twice and letting songs like "Sushi" and "Sticky" sit comfortably alongside the devastating "Cellophane." It's the kind of show that works best for people already committed to her vision: methodical, challenging, utterly unsentimental. She closed on "Eusexua," which felt appropriate—a choice that doubled down rather than offering an easy way out.

Boston's experimental electronic and avant-garde scene has always had a harder edge than the coasts, more interested in disruption than polish. That sensibility aligns with FKA twigs's refusal to be easily categorized—her genre-shifting approach finds kinship in a city that's produced its own strain of leftfield pop and boundary-testing producers. Roadrunner itself has become a key venue for artists working at the intersection of performance art and pop, hosting the kind of shows where the audience expects to be challenged.

Stay in the Back Bay neighborhood—it's walkable, lined with brownstones, and positioned between the best dining and the waterfront. Book a table at No. 9 Park for New American cooking that actually justifies the hype, or hit Oleana in nearby Cambridge if you want something fresher and less fussy. Spend an afternoon at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a genuinely strange and rewarding art collection housed in a deliberately eccentric mansion. The Prudential Center has decent shopping if that's your thing, and the waterfront is legitimately beautiful for a walk before the show.
