The Stadium Tour at Fenway Park: Everything You Need To Know!

By kenwest

Here’s everything you need to know about The Stadium Tour at Fenway Park Fri Aug 5 & Sat Aug 6.

After what seems like an eternity (3 years since the announcement, so yeah, an eternity,) it’s  FINALLY happening.
Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Poison, and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts are ready to rock The Stadium Tour at Fenway Park.

Controversy?  Why, yes, there’s been tons of controversy. Thanks for asking.  From Vince Neil’s voice and weight issues making us wonder if the tour would even happen.  To Tommy Lee’s broken ribs keeping him from performing full shows. To Brett Michaels missing a show.  Or using teleprompters and drum tracks.  Between all that and…oh yes…COVID, it’s been more of a roller coaster ride than Tommy Lee’s drum kits.  But right now, it’s summer, the Red Sox are a mess and we’re ready for something to believe in at Fenway!   We all love rock and roll.  So say it with us and let’s rock this place to the ground: Gunter, Gleiben, Glauchen, Globen.

Whether you’re a seasoned expert or concert virgin, we’ve collected answers to a lot of questions you might have. So, before you slather yourself in hairspray, mascara, and clothes that don’t fit “quite” as well as they did when “Dr. Feelgood” came out (don’t worry we’re not judging) here’s what to know as you hit the Fenway.

Oh yeah, 2 things first:
1) You can WIN tickets (on the field) at our Stadium Tour Pre-parties at Lansdowne Pub from 2-4pm each day. Plus, we’ll be handing out free collectible ROCK 92.9 K-Cards (note from our lawyers: while supplies last.)

2) After both shows, drive home with the ROCK 92.9 Concert Encore: an hour of tunes from all 4 bands.

Ready? Let’s get rocked…

  • What Time Is the Show?

    Get ready for a long day/night (in a good way.)

    Scheduled start time is 4pm.  Yup.  You read that right.  4pm. Will it start on-time?  Probably close.  So, if you want to see all the bands, don’t be late.

    We know Fenway Park’s concert curfew is 10:30pm, so based on previous show setlists we can get an idea of how this could go .

    Times are approximate!!!

    4pm:  Classless Act has been opening the tour and coming on at (or just before) the start time (4pm)  They play for about 20 minutes.

    4:40 pm: Joan Jett & The Blackhearts.  Most  setlists have her playing about 45-50 minutes.

    5:45 pm: Poison.  They play about 55 minutes.  Pay attention to the songs they play over the PA before they walk on.  In Detroit, they played Kiss’ ‘Detroit Rock City.”  Our money’s on Aerosmith’s “Back in the Saddle.”

    7pm: Motley Crue or Def Leppard.  They’re rotate the headliner slots (schedule for Fenway shows below.) and each play about 90 minutes.

    9pm: Motley Crue or Def Leppard

    10:30pm: Mad rush to your car to tune into the ROCK 92.9 Concert Encore (1 hour of tunes to get you home.)

  • Who's the Headliner?

    Def Leppard and Motley Crue rotate headlining slots.

    According to this fan account, the headliners shake out this way:

    Fri (Aug 5) Motley Crue

    Sat (Aug 6) Def Leppard
    (We checked previous shows and they’ve been correct.)

  • Can I Still Buy Tickets?

    According to their website, YES!
    Get ’em here!

    And if you bought them from the Fenway Park/Red Sox site going back to 2019, your original tickets are still good!

  • What Can (and Can't) I Bring?

    Travel light.  You’re going to a concert. Bring your phone, license, credit card (only limited places in the park take cash!) Take the T if you can…and be ready for Nothin’ But A Good Time.

    But here’s the do’s/don’ts if you need them.  And any other Fenway FAQ’s can be answered here.
