  • Why does Tough Luck Matter?
    Tough Luck Fest was created on the principal/belief that Bostons alternative music scene kicks ass and is stronger than ever. We believe that up and coming artists in the alternative rock, emo, pop-punk, hardcore and death-core scenes are part of a strong enough community to showcase that they are able to pack out bigger music venues. Our mission is to have these artists/bands come together and put on a show that displays the local scene to its fullest extent. Sometimes all you need is a little Tough Luck to find your way.
  • Can I apply to play Tough Luck 2024?

  • Can I sponsor Tough Luck Fest?
    Absolutely! Please send an email to toughluckfest@gmail.com with your sponsorship inquiry and we will respond as soon as possible!
  • Will Tough Luck have food and drink?
    With this year's show being held at Brighton Music Hall, there are bars located at both the left and right sides of the bar. For food there are various numerous restaurants located all around the Allston/Brighton area. Our personal favorite is Underdog Chicken located right next door!
  • Is there parking near the area?
    Brighton Music Hall does not have a specific parking lot. Please use street parking and garages when driving to the show. We recommend taking public transit. The Park Boston app is typically what is used for street parking.
