LIMELIGHT MAGAZINE’S TOP 10 CONCERTS OF 2022

In 2022, we attended 34 concerts not counting the shows we booked through JKB Entertainment Group. Once again, we traveled outside of New England to see some great shows, including Hershey, PA, to see Lady Gaga; New York City to see Scorpions with Chircutt and Rage Against the Machine with Run The Jewels, and Port Jefferson, NY, to see Primus with Battles. We also saw nine acts for the first time, which definitely reduces our bucket list. So, without further ado, here is Limelight Magazine’s top 10 concerts of 2022, which is followed by the complete list of shows we’ve seen this year.
