Boston Landing’s new concert venue pays homage to Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, naming the 3,500-seat arena “Roadrunner” in a nod the band’s 1970s shoutout to the local environs.

The Bowery Presents, manager and promoter of the 50,000-square-foot music hall at 82 Guest St., plans a spring 2022 opening for New England’s largest general admission indoor music destination.

“To us, the song ‘Roadrunner’ so authentically belongs to Massachusetts and this new venue. There’s a reason why it came close to becoming the official state song: it’s transportive while still unifying people,” Bower Presents Vice President Josh Bhatti said in a statement.

Roadrunner joins The Bowery Presents’ existing local list of venues including Royale Boston and The Sinclair in Cambridge.

The name choice also references the adjacent Track at New Balance also under construction at the master-planned development led by the owners of the athletic shoe company.

Promoters said the opening line-up for live shows has yet to be announced.

Ground was broken in 2019 on the track and concert hall projects.
