6 Last-Minute Gift Ideas For Father’s Day 2019
Show your dad some love this Father's Day with an experience he'll never forget.
Pops, Dad, Papa, Old Man. No matter what you call him, he has been there for you when you’ve needed him the most. And while it sometimes seems like the perfect Father’s Day gift is impossible to find, perhaps we should all listen to our dads this year when they say that the greatest gift of all is quality time with family.
Instead of gifting him the usual material presents, why not take Dad to an unforgettable event that he’ll treasure for years to come? Commemorate years of playing catch in the front yard by taking him to see his favorite baseball team live, or let him relive those glory days of music with tickets to his favorite old-school rock band.
No matter what he loves, we’ve rounded up some exciting concerts and can’t-miss games that Dad is sure to enjoy this Father’s Day.

NASCAR
If Dad loves fast cars and the smell of burnt rubber, then there is no bigger thrill than the high-octane world of NASCAR. See some of the greatest veteran drivers in the sport go head to head with up-and-coming stars across some of the most challenging racetracks in America. This demonstration of raw power, skill and teamwork is truly something one must experience live. So grab a beer, put on sunscreen and share this incredible demonstration of speed and power with dear old Dad.
Queen & Adam Lambert
There’s nothing quite like the first time you hear “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “Somebody To Love” or any of Queen’s legendary hit singles. If your father is a fan of the group’s iconic discography, he won’t want to miss this collaboration between the active members of this larger-than-life British rock band and the exceptionally talented “American Idol” finalist Adam Lambert. After sold-out performances worldwide, this exciting revival returns to stages across the U.S., promising killer performances that Dad will never forget.
MLB Games
Many of our earliest and fondest memories of baseball involve playing catch with Dad on a warm summer day, and no sport speaks to our special bond with him better than America’s favorite pastime. Lucky for you, there’s no better time to catch an MLB game. Having just acquired a number of promising players, top contenders in the National and American Leagues are getting a much needed breath of fresh air as the season continues to heat up. Keep an eye on favorites like the Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees, as they continue to defy expectations.
WWE
Wrestling fans are among the most enthusiastic and passionate out there, and no one puts on a better show than WWE. For generations, the creative minds behind some of the biggest pro-wrestling showdowns have delivered high adrenaline acrobatics, show-stopping talent, incredible theatrics and more. Dad won’t want to miss seeing Braun Strowman, Randy Orton, Ronda Rousey, Dean Ambrose and more wrestling superstars live as WWE celebrates a new and exciting era of raw skill and spectacle.
Judas Priest & Uriah Heep
Nothing screams heavy metal like Britain’s own Judas Priest. These hard rock legends have been a non-stop, innovative powerhouse since 1969, and after five decades and 18 studio albums, they show no signs of slowing down. They are currently celebrating their 50th anniversary touring North America with veteran metal band Uriah Heep, playing to massive audiences of passionate fans. There is certainly no better Father’s Day gift for the metal loving dad than seeing these pioneers of hard rock take the stage live.
