Table of Contents
Unexpected news for boston music fans as two major concerts are called off.
Concerts by Shakira and Jason Aldean, scheduled for thursday and Friday nights at Fenway Park in Boston, have been abruptly canceled.
Live Nation issued a statement saying: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Shakira and Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn performances originally scheduled for May 29th and May 30th respectively at Fenway Park have been canceled. Refunds will be available at your point of purchase. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
Details surrounding the cancelations are scarce, and the Shakira and Jason Aldean concerts have been removed from the Fenway Concert Series website.
Shakira, who is currently touring with her The Las Mujeres Ya No lloran (Women No Longer Cry) tour, was slated to launch the 2025 Fenway Concert series. The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer posted on X less than a day before the announcement: “Boston I’m coming! Will.I.am and Wycleff tomorrow! I can’t ask for more!! And can’t wait to be on stage with all of you!”
This is not the first time Shakira has had to cancel a show on her current tour. Earlier stops in Lima, Peru, and Medellín, Colombia, were also called off. In Lima, the singer was hospitalized with an abdominal issue, and in medellín, a stage roof was damaged, creating a safety concern.
Aldean, who was scheduled to perform with Brooks & Dunn as part of his Full Throttle tour, retweeted Fenway Park’s announcement regarding the cancelations.
Fans expressed their disappointment, with some pleading with Aldean to find an alternative.
One fan wrote on X, “Can Jason Aldean bring his own stage or something please we have 24 hours to fix this.”
Another wrote, “What a disappointment.”
A third questioned,”Why does this happen all the time with the big performers?”
Possible Reasons for the Cancelations
“Due to unforeseen circumstances… performances originally scheduled for May 29th and May 30th respectively at Fenway Park have been canceled.”
Several boston media outlets have suggested that the cancelations may be due to stage safety concerns, though this has not been officially confirmed.
Other acts scheduled to perform at Fenway Park this summer include Hozier, The Lumineers, Thomas Rhett, the Jonas Brothers, Chris Brown, The Who, and My Chemical Romance. The concert series is scheduled to continue through September.
