Two concerts at Fenway Park have been abruptly canceled. Fans eager to see Shakira tonight (May 29) and Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn (May 30) will now receive refunds.

The Boston ballpark made the announcement on their Instagram. “Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Shakira and Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn performances originally scheduled for May 29 and May 30 respectively at Fenway Park have been canceled,” the announcement reads. “Refunds will be available at your point of purchase. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

Shakira was slated to play tonight, while Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn were supposed to take the stage on Friday night. Both shows were canceled, with Live Nation revealing more details about why. According to them, structural elements supporting the stage were deemed potentially unsafe during a routine pre-concert check. No one was injured, but both concerts are being canceled out of an abundance of caution. Live Nation did not immediately identify who performed the pre-concert check.

Several major concerts are scheduled at Fenway Park for the summer 2025 season as part of the Nucar Fenway Concert Series. Barring these last two May performances, several upcoming performances for the Boston ballpark include:

  • June 23 & 24 | Hozier: Unreal Unearth Tour
  • July 17 & 18 | The Lumineers: The Automatic World Tour
  • July 19 | Thomas Rhett: Better In Boots Tour
  • August 23 | Jonas Brothers: Jon20 The Dream Tour
  • August 25 | Chris Brown: Breezy XX Tour
  • August 26 | The Who
  • September 7 | My Chemical Romance

So far, just the May dates for Shakira, Jason Aldean, and Brooks & Dunn have been canceled. Presumably the park will address stage issues found during these pre-concert checks and the rest of the summer series will go off without a hitch. They’ve got nearly a month before Hozier is set to take the stage in June. The city of Boston has not responded to press requests for comment about the concert cancellations at Fenway Park.
