The Hives — House of Blues, Boston, 2026

Full set by The Hives filmed at the House of Blues in Boston, Massachusetts, in March 2026. Hailing from Fagersta, Sweden, and fronted by singer Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist, the band has been a standard-bearer of garage rock and the punk revival since the early 2000s. On stage, the five musicians in their trademark black-and-white suits deliver a live concert of relentless intensity: cutting riffs, a lean rhythm section, and constant provocation and banter with the crowd between songs. The setlist draws on the classics that built their reputation, from “Hate to Say I Told You So” to “Main Offender” and “Tick Tick Boom” — anthems built for the room. This full-length capture conveys the physical energy and stage humour that define The Hives in concert, within the intimate and celebrated setting of the House of Blues. An ideal full concert to rediscover a band that has kept the flame of garage rock alive for nearly three decades, and whose reputation as a live powerhouse needs no introduction.
