And I hope you take my post as a knock against architectural render makers, and not the OG Great Scott. Of all the concert posters they could have put on that wall...sheesh.

Good call!

They are showing past performers that played at the original location to show the importance of bringing it back. Same with passion pit and Phoebe bridgers.

Well, I'll be damned if Charli XCX, who now routinely fills arenas and is from the UK, once played the old Great Scott. My bad on that one, and good for them if that's the case. Assumed it was the usual render artists sneaking in random stuff we see on a lot of proposals.

Uh oh, let's hope BPDA aren't sticklers about spelling

I can't say I'm a fan...but I know enough to know Charli XCX just played TD Garden. This render implies quite the ambitious transformation from the 240-seat, sticky-floored dive bar Great Scott was a few years ago to now (Or quite the rapid career downfall of said artist)

Maybe her fans realized she's old enough to be their mom... it would not shock me at all if she performed there in 2011 or so.

I wonder if they used the real posters from those concerts? My thought was that there must be something to it, or those artists would never have given them permission to use their names to promote their project... it's possible Great Scott retains some rights to the promotional materials for the events held there.
