Maine’s had its fair share of iconic alternative rock shows over the years. Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters , Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews Band, and Smashing Pumpkins...just to name a few have all played in our state, however a surprising number of well-known legends… just haven’t.
The Foo Fighters were blowing up at the time, to the point that the days of playing smaller venues would shortly be behind them, but not until they rocked Portland, Maine, at the State Theatre.
Concord is home to the historic Chubb Theater. Each year, the acts at the Chubb theater bring people from all over the Granite State. Here's the complete lineup so far.
I was going through my ticket stub collection recently – yep, big nerd alert – and noticed that the State Theatre was poppin’ with some big shows in the spring of 2012. People were done with winter, ready to get out of the house, and the State gave us plenty to do.
Two decades have passed since Green Day brought their explosive American Idiot tour to Portland, Maine. Back in April 2005. When word got out that they were playing the Cumberland County Civic Center, Mainers went full meltdown mode—in the best way.
