Fenway Park has announced its first concerts for 2024. The two announced acts and are quite different from each other.

Noah Kahan - July 19

The first date to appear on the calendar so far is Vermont native, Noah Kahan. The We’ll All Be Here  Forever Tour was announced today. The North American dates take Kahan from coast to coast starting in late May. Ultimately, he will conclude in Boston for somewhat of a hometown show. This is the only New England date on the itinerary so far. Mt. Joy will be in support for the Fenway Park show.

Kahan played to roaring crowd at the 2023 Boston Calling Festival. He then returned to the area early this month, playing 17 songs, headlining a show at the Comcast Center in Mansfield. Kahan's latest record Stick Season, was released in October of 2022.

Kane Brown - July 20

The 2024 Nucar Fenway Concert Series will go for two nights in a row as Kane Brown returns to the park the night after Kahan. Brown kicked off the 2023 Fenway concert series this past June. Jon Pardi, LOCASH, and RaeLynn will be in support.

Brown's 2024 In The Air Tour will start on March 28 in Charlottesville, Virginia. In addition to his tour announcement, Brown has a new single entitled "I Can Feel It," which will be out tomorrow (September 21).

2023 saw Fenway Park hold 12 concerts scheduled starting in late June. In fact, The Gorillaz were supposed to wrap up the season last night. They had to cancel their September shows due to unforeseen circumstances.

As for next season, more 2024 concerts are expected to be announced by Fenway Park in the coming month. After a week away, the Red Sox are returning to Boston Friday. They have two home series remaining. This weekend they take on the Chicago White Sox. Then, they will wind down with two games against the Tampa Bay Rays before finishing the year on the road against the Baltimore Orioles.

Ranking The 5 Best Burgers At Fenway Park

Whether you are inside the stadium or pre-gaming before the game, there is no shortage of burger options at Fenway Park. How do you decide which place to go to satisfy your craving? Here, we will rank the 5 best burgers around Fenway Park.

These selections are specific to the ballpark neighborhood. They include the options available inside the park as well. We are fortunate that each of the streets bordering Fenway Park offer dining options. From quick grabs to a more formal sit-down style, burgers are cooked here in a plethora of variations. Now, with MGM Music Hall open (adjacent to the Park), more and more people are seeking food options that pair well with the main event.

It is likely that while you are walking into Fenway, you will come across sausage carts, cooking right there in the street. Though there are numerous options to grab a sandwich here, most of them do not offer a typical burger.

Fenway Park is also a destination region of the city. Often ticketholders plan what meals they will have when making the trip. Whether you are looking to grab a beer and a casual meal or more of a fine dining experience before first pitch, you have burger options to meet your requirements.

What Burgers Will You Find at Fenway?

In the neighborhood, there are chain restaurants that are specific to New England. Then, there are other establishments that you can find across the country. Lastly, there are also burger joints that are exclusively here, as it's their only location.

Many burger options by the park are very reasonably priced. You can get a "Big Papi" themed burger topped with the works, such as bacon, a grilled hot dog, and fried egg for under $20. If a more traditional and simple option is your preference, you are covered there as well. A standard hamburger can be found for as low as $6.

On a recent trip to Fenway Park, we went on a mission to rank the five best burgers. Although there are probably over 20 different options nearby, these are the ones that make the starting lineup.

#5 Wahlburgers

Mark and Donnie Wahlberg's chain of quality burgers has prominent placement along Brookline Ave. The choice here is the "Super Melt" where a cheeseburger marries a grilled cheese. Add a side of tots, and this meal compliments your overall Boston entertainment experience.

#4 Boston Burger Company

The home of the aforementioned "Big Papi Burger," Boston Burger Company has the most creative menu of the bunch. If you have that unique craving for a fried banana atop a burger, then this is the place you have to go. The "Green Monstah" was right on theme. Homemade guacamole adds the perfect touch to this heavy hitter.

#3 Cask 'n Flagon

The Fenway Burger at Cask 'n Flagon is the go-to at this Fenway landmark. Just like in baseball, consistency with burgers is key. The good-sized patty topped with bacon, cheddar, and onion rings is the perfect fastball of flavor that you look for in a burger.

#2 Tasty Burger

This fan-favorite has become a main attraction of the Fenway area since it opened in 2010. It's a true example of a neighborhood comfort food where the traditional cheeseburger is under $8. Just like the ballpark, Tasty Burger is has a classic retro feel that pairs perfectly with a ballgame. With that in mind, the regular cheeseburger seemed appropriate, and it did not disappoint.

Fenway Park - Home Plate Grill

The new maple glazed bacon and cheddar cheeseburger topped with caramelized onions is a force to be reckoned with. It's new to the Fenway Park menu for this season and can be found inside the stadium at the Home Plate Grill or Truly Terrace. Adding fresh maple taste to anything is usually a plus, but having it as the secret sauce to a burger available inside the gates that you can eat while watching the game is a home run.
