Remember when Fenway Park was very careful with the kind of concerts they would hold on that hallowed ground? Billy Joel, James Taylor, very safe picks. Country shows? Ok, a little more rowdy, but still alright. I remember when The Rolling Stones were booked to play and there was a fear that the crowd would be whipped into a frenzy, rip out the turf and tear down the Pesky Pole.
But the first feeling that things were changing was when they booked Green Day to play on the Hella Mega Tour August 27th, despite their history with a "mini riot" at The Esplanade in the 90's. And now...
Motley Crue, Def Leppard, with special guests Poison, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will play Fenway Park August 25, 2020. Tickets go on sale Friday December 20th at 10am, at RedSox.com/MotleyCrueDefLeppard.
Yes, the same place you can hear "Sweet Caroline," you will hear "Girls, Girls, Girls." How times have changed...
