GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The NFL announced a country music artist will headline its NFL Draft Concert Series.
Brad Paisley will end the NFL Draft on Saturday, April 26.
The NFL wrote: “A decorated country music icon, Paisley has earned his place in music history with a career spanning more than two decades, multiple GRAMMY Awards, and nearly 5 billion career streams worldwide. On May 21, he will launch the “Truck Still Works World Tour.”
His hits include “Mud on the Tires,” “Ticks,” “Little Moments,” “Alcohol,” “Waitin’ on a Woman,” “I’m Gonna Miss Her” and “American Saturday Night.”
The draft concert will start about half an hour after the final pick is made in the draft. The NFL expects the concert start time to be around 7 p.m., with that depending on how long teams take to make their picks.
The concert will take place at the Draft Theater adjacent to Lambeau Field. General fan viewing for the concert is free and fans are encouraged to arrive early, as standing room will be on a first-come first-served basis. The area will remain open throughout Draft programming.
As part of the weekend’s entertainment lineup, the Friday nighttime show will light up the Green Bay skyline with a cutting-edge display of more than 500 drones flying in choreographed formations above Lambeau Field.
Local organizers have compared the NFL Draft concert to the free kickoff concert many experienced in 2011 before the Packers’ home opener, the season after they won the Super Bowl.
Kid Rock, Lady A and Maroon 5 performed for about 100,000 people outside Lambeau Field.
The NFL Draft concert Saturday is in addition to downtown Green Bay’s Draft City Music Fest which starts at 5 p.m. and features Less Than Jake headlining at 10 p.m.
