Magic Of Lights At Gillette, Rod Wave And 15 MA Events This Weekend

MASSACHUSETTS — It isn't so much a question of what there is to do in the Boston area and beyond, but rather, what should locals do?

Welcome to Patch's latest weekly roundup of highlight-worthy events across the city and surrounding areas. We've compiled them into one, easy-to-follow list, for your weekend planning.

This week, we learned that Post Malone will play his first show at Gillette Stadium next May as part of his upcoming tour. He will be joined in Foxborough by fellow hip-hop artist turned country — or country adjacent — singer Jelly Roll.

According to officials, Citi cardmembers will have the first access to presale tickets in the U.S. through the Citi Entertainment program. That access lasts until Monday at 10 p.m. local time. For complete presale details, visit www.citientertainment.com.

The Foxborough date is scheduled for May 31, 2025.
