Summer on Nantucket is known for beautiful beaches, waterfront dining, and unforgettable sunsets. And now it's rapidly becoming one of New England's most exciting destinations for live music.
The Muse Summer Series has transformed Nantucket into a must-visit stop for nationally touring artists, bringing an impressive lineup of rock, indie, alternative, and pop performers to the island throughout the season. If you're planning a vacation to Nantucket this summer, catching a concert at The Muse is an experience worth adding to your own lineup.
Located at 44 Surfside Road, The Muse has been a legendary Nantucket music venue for decades. In the 1990s, it was known for hosting iconic bands like Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Hootie & the Blowfish, and Train before they were big. A few summers ago, it began hosting larger acts like Noah Kahan, Stephen Marley and Graham Nash, as a way to honor its roots. This year's Summer Series features more than 40 concerts from June through early September, giving visitors the chance to see well-known artists in an intimate setting that's unlike larger concert venues.
According to Billboard, the series was created to bring nationally recognized musicians to Nantucket while introducing artists to everything that makes the island special. The result is a summer lineup that has generated excitement well beyond New England.
This year's schedule features an incredible mix of artists, including:
Several artists are performing multiple nights, giving visitors additional opportunities to catch a show during their stay.
Many performances sell out well before show day, especially during the busiest weeks of July and August. If you're planning a Nantucket vacation this summer, you may want to check the concert calendar before booking your trip. Or you may even want to schedule your visit around your favorite band.
The Muse is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Nantucket, making it easy to pair a concert with dinner, drinks, or a stroll through Town. Spend the day at the beach, enjoy dinner at one of the island's restaurants, then cap off your evening with live music under the Nantucket sky.
Whether you're a longtime fan of these artists or simply looking for another memorable way to experience the island, The Muse Summer Series is quickly becoming one of Nantucket's signature summer events.
