The beginning of this year’s Fenway Concert Series is right in front of us. Kane Brown steps up to the plate Friday, leading off an impressive 2023 concert lineup at Fenway Park. 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the Fenway Concert Series. Over the past two decades, the legendary park has served as the grounds for some remarkable music evenings. Everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Aerosmith to Lady Gaga have performed by the Big Green Monster.
What started as one special show per year has now evolved into a fuller calendar of dates. Typically this venue bills the biggest artists in the world across every genre of music.
Field of Dreams
The stage is built upon the center field grass. The left field Big Green Monster serves as a picturesque backdrop, while there is a main entrance onto the lawn from right field. The infield is typically covered and roped off, but nonetheless, you can feel the stadium magic from wherever you are seated inside the park.
Often, the artists playing Fenway have well-known acts as support as well. Hometown heroes Dropkick Murphys have opened shows here numerous times. Furthermore, they performed one of the most meaningful shows at the stadium in 2020. It was to a completely empty park. “Streaming Outta Fenway” in 2020 was a pandemic special live stream. It featured a special appearance by Bruce Springsteen. Speaking of the Boss, he has played Fenway four times. The first time was in 2003.
2023 Lineup Card
The headliners this year are keeping in tradition with the fellow acts they have performing with them. Though there are eight official acts ticketed to play, Fenway will actually host 12 shows this year. Three artists are playing multiple nights. Some bands are taking this stage for the first time.
It all gets underway this weekend with three shows in a row, Friday through Sunday. To build the excitement, let’s take a look at the whole 2023 concert lineup at Fenway Park to get the summer party started.
