===Upcoming seventh album (2017–present)===
In April 2017, Scholz reported that he has been writing new material for the seventh Boston album. He told ''[[Sun Herald]]'', "I find that I'm in a position that I really need to write things that we can play at the shows. We play basically everything that people expect to hear that we can fit into two hours. We also do a lot of things that aren't on any of the records by adding things and segues and instrumental parts, so I always have to come up with new stuff. It's quite a challenge. I have to write new things for the tour every year, which is what I wanted to do in the first place. But I got sidetracked in the studio, recording. Now, I'm actually a performing musician, and I have to tell you, it's much more fun."<ref name="sunherald"/> When asked the same month about a potential release date of the album, Scholz said, "Who knows? I'm only 70. I figure I've got 30 years."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bestclassicbands.com/tom-scholz-interview-4-9-17/|title=Boston Strong: Tom Scholz Interview (Part 1)|last=Sullivan|first=Jim|date=April 9, 2017|website=Best Classic Bands|access-date=May 22, 2019}}</ref> While Scholz has vaguely stated that he is working on new music, the band has not toured since 2017 and no plans have been mentioned about a tour or new album. In an August 2024 interview with MIT Technology Review, Scholz revealed that his Analog studio equipment is in need of repair and "Unfortunately there's almost no one left locally that can repair or maintain analog equipment." Scholz also stated that "I'm still writing music, believe it or not, with what's left of my brain. It's very frustrating not to be able to go in and record what I hear."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/08/27/1095835/not-just-another-band-from-boston/ | title=Not just another band from Boston }}</ref>
