Before you know it, the New England Patriots will be back in action at Gillette Stadium for rookie mini-camp and OTAs. As exciting as it may be to get a first look at the team’s 2025 draft picks, the main attraction during the warmer months is the 2025 Gillette Stadium Concert Series, which will bring some of the biggest acts in music to Foxborough.
The season kicks off on May 4 with AC/DC, who are touring for the first time in nine years, and runs through August, when Morgan Wallen will play a pair of shows to round out the summer.
As is often the case, the slate of 2025 Gillette Stadium concerts includes multiple high-profile country music acts, including Wallen. “King of Country” George Strait only plays limited shows at 72 years old, but will be at Gillette this summer with Chris Stapleton and Parker McCollum.
And while it may be reductive to call Post Malone a country star, his most recent album “F-1 Trillion,” is a bonafide country record. The genre-crossing singer-songwriter will be at Gillette with country star Jelly Roll and bluegrass artist Sierra Ferrell.
Here’s a full list of 2025 Gillette Stadium concerts, as well as the latest info on how to buy tickets.
For the first time in almost a decade, AC/DC are back on tour (and back in black). The aussie rockers will kick off the slate of 2025 Gillette Stadium concerts at 7 p.m., Sunday, May 4, 2025.
AC/DC never had a proper tour for their 2020 album, “Power Up,” but have been touring Europe in support of the album since 2024. The band will be joined at Gillette Stadium by New York-founded rock group The Pretty Reckless.
Tickets for AC/DC’s Gillette Stadium concert are available through Ticketmaster.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA showed the world what they were capable of during Lamar’s 2025 Super Bowl halftime show. Now, the rapper will be making his Gillette Stadium debut alongside the “Snooze” singer on at 7 p.m. Monday, May 12, 2025.
The duo’s Foxborough date is only one of 19 arenas they will visit during the Grand National Tour. You can be sure that they’ll both perform plenty of their solo material, but it would be a shock not to hear their collaborations on “gloria” and “luther” together (from Lamar’s latest album “GNX”) as well as “All of the Stars” from the “Black Panther” soundtrack.
Tickets for Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s Gillette Stadium concert are available through Ticketmaster.
Genre-spanning performer Post Malone is set to hit the road on his biggest tour yet in 2025, which features a stop at Gillette Stadium on at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 31, 2025.
The onetime rapper’s setlist will likely be country-forward on the Big Ass Stadium Tour, given Malone is touring with country/rap star Jelly Roll and bluegrass musician Sierra Ferrell. Post Malone’s debut country album, 2024’s “F-1 Trillion,” yielded a No. 1 hit in “I Need Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen.
Tickets for Post Malone’s Gillette Stadium concert are available through Ticketmaster.
The Weeknd will be back at Gillette Stadium in 2025, but not on a weekend. The Canadian singer-songwriter will play a pair of shows at the home of the Patriots on Tuesday, June 10 and Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at 7 p.m.
“After Hours Til Dawn” tour
The Weeknd, who will be visiting Foxborough as part of the After Hours Til Dawn Tour, is making his first visit to Gillette since 2022. This time around, he will be accompanied by Playboi Carti and special guest Mike Dean.
Tickets for both of The Weeknd’s 2025 Gillette Stadium concerts (on June 10 and June 11) are available through Ticketmaster.
“The King of Country” George Strait is coming back to Gillette Stadium for anonther concert at 5:45 p.m., Saturday, June 21, 2025.
At 72 years old, Strait no longer does full tours. But the country star has made a point to play at Gillette over the years during his one-off stadium dates, visiting the home of the Patriots in 2019 and 2014. This time around, Strait will be joined by fellow country stars Chris Stapleton and Parker McCollum.
Tickets for George Strait’s Gillette Stadium concert are available through Ticketmaster.
Coldplay will hope for “A Sky Full of Stars” when the band plays a pair of shows at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday, July 15 and Wednesday, July 16 at 6 p.m.
The Chris Martin-fronted group will be touring in support of its 10th studio album, “Moon Music,” featuring the lead single “Feelslikeimfallinginlove.” Fan interest lead Coldplay to quickly add a second show, after the July 15 date quickly sold out. The group will be joined at Gillette by Arya Starr and Elyanna.
Verified resale tickets for both of Coldplay’s 2025 Gillette Stadium concerts (July 15 and July 16) are available through Ticketmaster.
Country star Morgan Wallen is bringing his worldwide concert tour to Gillette Stadium this summer for a pair of concerts on Friday, Aug. 22 and Saturday, Aug. 23 at 5:30 p.m.
After setting records on his One Night At A Time tour (which included a trio of Fenway Park shows in 2023), Wallen announced his fourth album, “I’m the Problem,” and his 2025 North American tour in January. Joining Wallen will be fellow country stars Miranda Lambert and Corey Kent.
Tickets for both of Morgan Wallen’s 2025 Gillette Stadium concerts (August 22 and August 23) are available through Ticketmaster.
