Canada’s best, bbno$ made his way to Boston for a very sold out show at MGM Music Hall Fenway for his Internet Explorer Tour. If anyone knows how to hype up a crowd and put on a show that feels like a high energy club atmosphere it is definitely bbno$. Since releasing his latest self titled album in October of last year, bbno$ has been on a tear and there’s no stopping him anytime soon.
Boston always shows up for bbno$ and this time was even more special. The crowd was growing in numbers as the time ticked closer to bbno$ tasking the stage. It was a fully sold out show and the energy in the venue was electric. Taking a look around the room you’d think you’re at a cosplay convention with the amount of cosplays you see. From people dressed up as Hatsune Miku, to Arcane characters, and just random fun cosplays, the vibe was so fun and something you don’t see a lot at shows. That’s just the bbno$ effect. Bbno$ often cosplays himself in his various tiktok videos, collaborating with many different friends and creators, which makes him so unique and one of the best cosplayers out there.
Before bbno$ took to the stage, Boston was treated to a performance full of love from Jungle Bobby. He got the vibes started off on the right foot and the energy was insane. It was finally time for bbno$ to grace the stage in Boston and the crowd was screaming in excitement. There was a short video montage that played before bbno$ would run out onto the stage up upon a platform of fake grass, to represent the classic windows XP background. He would start the show with “bag TF up” to the crowds roar.
What makes bbno$ stand out live isn’t vocal range or technical reinvention, it’s personality. He’s constantly joking with the audience, tossing out sarcastic one-liners, and embracing the absurdity that fuels his music. At one point, he paused mid-set just to riff with fans in the front row, turning a throwaway moment into one of the night’s biggest laughs. Its a running gag for bbno$ to hand out a signed cookbook every night to the best dressed fan and this night he gave it to a person dressed as Hatsune Miku but in a Dunkin Donuts outfit, in classic Boston Fashion.
Despite bbno$ injuring his back in a previous show, he still went as hard as he could and put on the best show for his fans, and that is true dedication. A bbno$ concert isn’t about precision or spectacle. It’s about vibe, humor, and collective hype. It delivers a night that’s loud, chaotic, and genuinely fun in a way that feels refreshingly unfiltered. There is simply no show like a bbno$ show.
