2018 Xfinity Center Concert Season: Full Schedule, Start Times

MANSFIELD, MA — Concert season at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield is around the corner, and it's going to be a big year. The venue has 38 shows lined up from late May to the end of September, a substantial increase over last year's 24 concerts.

Like last year, the first event at the former Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts won't be a concert, but a graduation. The University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth will hold their graduate and undergraduate ceremonies May 12. After the graduates get their diplomas, it's on to the shows, which include regulars like the Dave Matthews Band, KISS Concert, and Warped Tour.

This year's country megaticket includes access to six country concerts, including Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatt, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, and Darius Rucker.

In addition to the shows, 2018 will see the return of Fourth of July fireworks at the venue for the first time in years. The Mass. Music and Arts Society will host a free holiday concert and celebration on the fourth featuring music from the Wheaton College Symphony Orchestra.
