The Sanctuary – Old South Church in Boston
At its core, it’s a live concert of about an hour built around Peaky Blinders, Steven Knight’s BBC drama (2013–2022, six series) about the Shelbys in 1920s Birmingham, an industrial city in England’s Midlands. The 2026 film The Immortal Man brought the story back. Its soundtrack famously set a period drama to modern rock, and that’s what makes it such a good match for candlelight: dark, powerful arrangements that keep the series’ edge rather than smoothing it away.
Two tracks are confirmed: “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, the opening theme, and “Do I Wanna Know?” by Arctic Monkeys.
Who’s it for? Fans who watched all six series, music lovers who know the show as much by its soundtrack as by its story, and anyone already hooked on candlelit concerts. The mood takes its cue from the series—ambition, loyalty, intrigue and a family name that carries weight—with Tommy, Ada and Michael Shelby never far from mind. It also answers a question fans may never have thought to ask: what happens to a rock anthem when it’s played by candlelight?
Getting there is easy—Park Street station (Red and Green Lines) is right across the street, and Downtown Crossing (Red and Orange Lines) is close by. Inside, you’ll find an accessible nave and restrooms, an elevator to all levels and a ramp to the chancel. There’s no dress code, but this is the night to bring out the tweed: a newsboy cap, a three-piece suit with a pocket-watch chain, or a drop-waist dress with a cloche hat and long gloves will put you right in the era.

🕰️Time: 9 pm
💸Price: From $33.50
