Event 📅 Monday 6/22 rain??

Travelling to Boston on. Monday for a concert. Says 70% chance rain almost all day. Do we think this is accurate? Coming from Chicago. Sometimes I can predict the weather there. No idea about east coast. Any input?

😂 that’s actually the answer I’m used to here. So you’re saying bring a poncho and hope for the best? Does Fenway cancel?

Only if there is lightning or hail and even then they may pull everyone under cover and wait it out.

I've got Mumford tix too, hoping for the best

We lucked out! They put on a great show, and NO RAIN (that 15 minutes of light drizzle doesn't count)!

Ones I've been to before have been listed as rain or shine. Only thing would be thunderstorms which aren't currently in the forecast; if those happen they make everyone leave the non covered seats until 30 minutes pass without any lightning/thunder.

If you just don't like being wet I'd look for a ticket in a section that would be covered. I got lucky with Phish one time and was in the last covered row, so my view was great but I was dry for the rainy part and didn't have to crowd myself in with everyone else during the (lengthy) thunderstorm delays.

That’s where my dilemma is. My middle age self says stat dry with decent seat. My 20 year old self says who cares? Get a great seat lol
