Dierks Bentley At Xfinity Center: What You Need To Know

MANSFIELD, MA — The second concert of the season takes place Saturday and residents, officials, probably anyone associated with the Xfinity Center is hoping for a smoother operation.

Dierks Bentley performs at the Xfinity Center Saturday night as part of the What The Hell 2017 World Tour. After a Future concert caused traffic jams on side street due to directions from Waze, police are working to make sure there isn't a repeat of the traffic that took residents by surprise.

Joining Bentley will be Cole Swindell and Jon Pardi.

Whether you are going to the show, or simply want to know when to avoid Route 140, here's what you need to know about Saturday night's show.

GETTING THERE AND PARKING

Concertgoers are asked to use exit 11 on Interstate 495 or Exit 7A on Interstate 95 to access Route 140 and the venue. If you're thinking about using Waze or Google Maps to hit the backroads and try to go around the traffic, you'll be met by an assortment of signs, barricades, barrels, and the presence of officers.

Once you get to the Xfinity Center, parking at the venue is free. For those looking for a quicker exit, there are two privately owned lots across the street and next to the venue which provide parking for a fee. Safe crossing is provided by police for those who choose to park outside the venue.

Xfinity Center parking lots open at 3:30 p.m. The show starts at 7 p.m.
