Pop rock quartet BOYS LIKE GIRLS will help Toad’s Place celebrate its 50th anniversary with a show at the legendary concert venue in New Haven, CT, on Friday, August 22, 2025. 

Boys Like Girls dropped their latest album, the crisp and effervescent Sunday At Foxwoods, in 2023. Welcomed back with open arms from new and old fans alike, the alt pop four-piece came back with leather jackets, tight pants, and a vengeance that could be heard for miles on SUNDAY AT FOXWOODS. Their first album in over a decade, it was a beautiful and ceremonious meeting of their melody-driven pop anthems delivered with the maturity of a band that had many years of growth in between. 

Today, the band previously announced a spate of upcoming tour dates that run through October. The band has also announced a slew of festival appearances and will be serving as support to The Jonas Brothers through October, as well. So it’s a busy few months of touring ahead for BLG!

“There’s something romantic about the in-between, the motels with busted ice machines, and kids holding hand-painted signs in cities the agents and ‘A market’ runs forgot existed,” the band says. “We didn’t. We remembered. Carving up North America one last time on a record cycle that brought us around the globe three times and back. This time, a heap of dates supporting The Jonas Brothers, a couple festivals, and headlining dates in between. Two stadiums, nine arenas, nine amphitheaters, six festivals, five clubs…from July to October. From dive bars to domes. From basements to bleachers. This ain’t nostalgia. It’s a celebration of survival. Of coming back swinging when the world forgot you were in the ring. See you on the road.”

Various artist pre-sales are running at this time. Packages are available here.
