Zach Bryan Plays Gillette Stadium, Chief Keef: MA Events This Week

MASSACHUSETTS — Are you saving your nights outside of the house for the weekend? In Massachusetts, that can often mean missing out on a bevy of great concerts, art exhibits and other events across the state.

In Patch's latest weekly column, we focus on the events happening throughout the week in the Boston area and beyond.

This week, highly influential rapper Chief Keef is in Boston for "A Lil Tour" following the release of his most recent body of work, "Almighty So 2". The project and its subsequent promotion have seen the Chicago-born rapper open up much more than followers of his music and career are used to, showing more public introspection than most thought he'd ever reveal.

Speaking of public introspection, the (totally not) country singer-songwriter Zach Bryan is back for his second summer show at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday. Joining him are The War and Treaty and Levi Turner.

But those aren't the only two events worth your time this week. Here's what else to know:
