The Midway has presented the best acts, and the best VARIETY of acts, in Boston since 1987. Often compared to New York's Knitting Factory for its eclectic mix of styles and crowds, the Midway books everything from Western Swing to Metal to Blues to Punk to Country to Jazz to Reggae to Surf to Hip-Hop to World Beat to Spoken Word to Rockabilly to Lounge to Soul / R&B to Comedy and much more, plus special events, benefits, movie screenings, and our famous Dyke Nyte every Thursday. We'll also host your private party.
