Mansfield, MA – June 6th

I recommend booking a hotel near Foxborough. It's close to Gillette Stadium, and the nearby Patriot Place shopping center offers a wide range of dining and accommodation options.

🎡 What to do after the show

The next day, head directly to Providence, RI to experience the classic neighborhood of Brown University. Or just drive east to Plymouth to see the Mayflower II and enjoy a lobster feast on the cool New England coastline.

Venue: The Pavilion at Star Lake

🚗 Transportation

The venue is located about a 40-minute drive west of Pittsburgh, near the West Virginia border. You'd better arrive before 4 PM!

🏨 Where to stay

Given the rural location, it's essential to stay in Robinson Township or in downtown Pittsburgh.

🎡 What to do after the show

After rock night, spend the weekend in the "Steel City" of Pittsburgh. Take the century-old Duquesne Incline cable car up Mount Washington for breathtaking views of the confluence of three rivers, visit the Andy Warhol Museum for pop art, or catch a Pirates baseball game at PNC Park.

Essential Travel Tips for Concert-Goers

• Party Guide: You should bring folding chairs and coolers. All four theaters have open-air lawns, and it's a tradition to arrive early in the afternoon to enjoy beer and barbecue with fans from all over the country.
• Weather Tip: Weather in June is hot and prone to thunderstorms, so remember to bring a raincoat!
• Plan B: Fans who couldn't get tickets in June or whose dates didn't match can book tickets for the "Rock The Country" music festival from July to September.
• Add-ons: When checking out on Ticketmaster, the system will usually pop up a window prompting you to purchase "Premier Parking" or "Lawn Chair Rental". It is highly recommended to purchase these! This will save you time from long queues or traffic jams at the exit.
