Jack’s Mannequin 20th Anniversary Tour Hits Boston

California-based band, Jack’s Mannequin, played a sold out show at Roadrunner with support from indie-folk artist, Yoke Lore, on their 2025 MFEO Tour. 

Celebrating 20 years since the release of their debut album, Everything in Transit, the band was ecstatic to be back on stage in front of their fans.Their set began with a wholesome montage of old clips of the band throughout the years, filling the room with nostalgia. Lead singer, Andrew McMahon, shared with the crowd information about his nonprofit Dear Jack Foundation supporting teens and young adults with cancer, which he developed after his own diagnosis back in 2005. He expressed how grateful he was to be able to fully recover and continue his musical journey and be where he is today. 

McMahon could be seen most of the night behind the piano, belting lyrics to old-time favorites like Holiday from Real, The Mixed Tape, and Bruised. However, at one point, he surfed the crowd on a giant rubber duck float, giving fans an unforgettable and fully immersive experience. Everyone was especially excited when their biggest hit, Dark Blue, was performed toward the end of the set. Everyone was singing and dancing along to the heart-felt lyrics about isolation, relationship challenges, and the emotions that come along with such experiences. 

If you missed the show, don’t fret! Andrew and Jack’s Mannequin will be continuing the tour around the US and even internationally throughout the rest of the year. Check out more dates HERE
