Here is what I keep telling people about MASS MoCA: it is not just a museum that happens to book concerts. It is one of the more interesting live rooms in the northeast, housed inside a sprawling 19th-century factory complex in North Adams — and the Hunter Center, a 10,000-square-foot black-box space with standing room for 900, is the kind of industrial-chic room that makes a band like Son Lux sound exactly as enormous as they should.
About Son Lux
Son Lux — the trio of Ryan Lott, Rafiq Bhatia, and Ian Chang — has spent nearly two decades building music that lives inside a specific tension: emotionally raw and meticulous at the same time, experimental enough to be genuinely strange, melodic enough to pull you back in. You may know them from the score they wrote for Everything Everywhere All at Once, the 2022 A24 film that earned them two Oscar nominations and a BAFTA. They also scored Marvel’s Thunderbolts* in 2025.
They’re coming to North Adams behind Out Into — their ninth studio album, due Fall 2026. The band describes it as “tactile, detail-minded songs born from dazzling moments of collective improvisation,” a shift toward more immediate, direct writing compared to the precision of their recent film scoring work. Live, in a room like the Hunter Center, that kind of immediacy is going to land differently than it does on record.

About MASS MoCA
MASS MoCA — the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art — occupies a 19th-century factory complex at 1040 MASS MoCA Way in North Adams. It is one of the largest centers for contemporary visual and performing arts in the country, and the Hunter Center is its flagship performance space: a 10,000-square-foot black-box room that has hosted nationally touring rock, indie, electronic, and folk acts in an industrial setting that rewards the sound. The museum campus also includes the Building 10 Theatre and outdoor courtyard spaces. It is a cultural anchor of the northern Berkshires — and worth the drive from anywhere in the coverage area.
