Zach Bryan is set to take over Gillette Stadium for two straight nights, with shows Friday and Saturday marking his first appearances at the Foxborough venue since 2024. The concerts, part of Bryan's With Heaven On Tour, will bring special guests Gregory Alan Isakov and Gabriella Rose to the stage alongside the country star, and both performances are expected to draw major crowds to a stadium that organizers say is already bracing for the kind of road congestion that comes with a sold-out run.
Friday and Saturday's concerts will be Bryan's third and fourth times performing at Gillette Stadium, according to Gillette Stadium's event page, which also confirms Isakov and Rose as the scheduled special guests. The venue describes With Heaven On Tour as Bryan's biggest international tour yet, following what it calls a massive fall run that included sold-out shows at major college football stadiums across the country. Gabriella Rose, one of the supporting acts, has previously collaborated with Bryan on the songs “I Remember Everything” and “Madeline.”
Both nights are scheduled to start at 7 p.m., with parking lots opening at 3 p.m. and stadium gates following at 5 p.m., per WCVB. According to Holler, the first opening act is expected to hit the stage right at 7 p.m., with Bryan himself not taking the stage until somewhere between 8:30 and 8:45 p.m. That same report notes fans can likely expect staples like “I Remember Everything” and “Something In The Orange,” along with an extended encore of “Revival,” though the full setlist for either night has not been confirmed.
Getting There Without Getting Stuck
Stadium officials are warning fans to build in extra travel time, since event-day access to Gillette Stadium is via Route 1 only. Fans who try to cut through local roads will hit delays from closures that don't show up on traffic apps or GPS navigation, the stadium's event page states. As reported by Boston 25 News, fans are being asked to use I-95, I-495 or Route 140 to reach Route 1 and the stadium, and travel restrictions will be in place on local roads before and after both shows.
Friday's show carries an added wrinkle: it lands in the middle of weekday commuter traffic, the station notes, which could compound delays for anyone heading toward Foxborough straight from work. Saturday's show won't have that same rush-hour overlap, but stadium officials are still encouraging fans to allow plenty of travel time near the venue on both event days.
A Cashless Stadium and a $20 Train Option
For fans looking to skip the highway altogether, the MBTA Commuter Rail and Keolis are running round-trip, special event train service for both concerts. Round-trip tickets for the dedicated service are priced at $20, according to WWLP. Boston-area riders can catch special event trains departing from South Station, with stops at Back Bay and Dedham Corporate Center before arriving at Foxboro Station.
The outlet reports that special event trains are projected to arrive in Foxborough roughly 60 to 90 minutes before each show begins, and trains will depart Foxboro Station about 30 minutes after each concert wraps up. Once inside the gates, fans should also come prepared for a cashless experience — Gillette Stadium accepts only contactless payment, per the venue's own event listing.
Bryan's return to Gillette comes two years after his debut concert there, which was part of his Quittin Time Tour and featured Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit and Levi Turner as openers, according to The Sun Chronicle. This time around, Foxborough is gearing up for two nights of it in a row — a scale of traffic and transit planning that reflects just how big the With Heaven On Tour has become for the Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter.
