THE INTERNATIONAL POP OVERTHROW FESTIVAL IS BACK IN BOSTON FOR ITS 14th STRAIGHT YEAR, FROM NOVEMBER 9-12, WITH ALL SHOWS TO BE HELD AT PA’s LOUNGE!
Fans from around the Boston area, the country and the world will converge on Boston this November as International Pop Overthrow explodes into its 14th year in Beantown! IPO Boston will feature more than 25 of the best pop artists from the Boston area and beyond, and will take place from November 9-12, with all shows to be held at the very cool venue, PA’s Lounge.
The International Pop Overthrow festival made its debut in Los Angeles in 1998, and in 2016 celebrated its 19th straight year there. In 2001 the festival made its first of 14 consecutive appearances in New York, in 2002 made its inaugural stop in Chicago. In October of 2003 the festival became truly International as it made an appearance at the birthplace of The Beatles, Liverpool, England, where all shows were held at the world famous Cavern Club, and we celebrated our 14th year there in May! Since then we’ve added several U.S. cities to the IPO family, including Boston, Detroit, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta, as well as three international cities: Vancouver, Toronto, and London, UK! In 2015 we added Stockholm, Sweden to the fold, and we will make our 2nd appearance there in May!
International Pop Overthrow has been covered in several publications such as Spin Magazine, The Boston Herald, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Reader, The Chicago Sun Times, The Illinois Entertainer, The Los Angeles Times, The San Fernando Valley Business Journal, The Orange County Register, L.A. Weekly, OC Weekly, The Baltimore Sun, New York Magazine, The New Yorker, The New York Post, Vancouver Westender, The Liverpool Echo, Creative Loafing, Billboard, CMJ, BAM, Goldmine, Amplifier, The Big Takeover, and various other publications from around the world, including the retrospective book, The Cavern: The Most Famous Club in the World, by noted Liverpool historian Spencer Leigh!
International Pop Overthrow is touted as the largest music festival of its kind, celebrating the musical styles made famous by such pop heroes as The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Badfinger while also focusing on the vast amount of music being made today by those artists who rely on melodic songcraft to express their musical tastes. From The Beatles to Cheap Trick and Tame Impala, the International Pop Overthrow Music Festival celebrates the evolution of pop music.
