WFUV is partnering with the historic Forest Hills Stadium throughout the summer. Concert goers can look for WFUV staff in the FUV Clubhouse and expect reviews of just about every show, as well as live broadcasts of select concerts.

WFUV travels to North Adams, MA for a live broadcast from Solid Sound at MASSMoCA on June 24th. With a lineup headlined by Solid Sound curators, Wilco, featured performers will also include Television and Kurt Vile all with modern art installations as the backdrop.

"Live concerts complete the music discovery experience you've come to expect from WFUV." said WFUV Program Director Rita Houston.
