Morgan Wallen Faces Nearly $16k Fine After Violating Curfew In Foxborough, MA

Over the weekend, Morgan Wallen performed two epic back-to-back shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. While fans were given a show to remember, the country music superstar is now facing a hefty fine after violating curfew.

The Boston Herald reported that on Friday, August 22, Wallen extended his show an extra 14 minutes past the 11:30 p.m. curfew set by Foxborough. The fine is calculated at a rate of 25 cents per fan, according to the outlet, meaning he is now being charged with a nearly $16,000 fine.

“The Morgan Wallen concert on Friday night is being fined for exceeding the curfew, and his team is aware of this,” a Foxborough spokesperson shared in a statement. “The curfew was set for 11:30 p.m., but the last song began at 11:44 p.m.— 14 minutes past the cutoff.”

Following Friday night’s extended performance, he then returned to the stage, set in the home of the New England Patriots, and delivered his second of two sold-out shows as part of his “I’m the Problem” tour. 

Morgan Wallen isn’t the only artist to exceed the town’s strict curfew policy. He now sits just behind Bruce Springsteen who played close to midnight in 2016 and was fined for over 22k. Springsteen made history with this extended performance and still holds the record for the artist with the biggest fine in Gillette history.

Nonetheless, Wallen made both shows a night to remember. He kicked things off by continuing his now-iconic walk-out tradition and welcomed two special guests to join him in making his way to the stage at the start of the concert. On Friday night, he was walked out with New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and on Saturday, he was accompanied by Patriots legend Rob Gronkowski.

“GRONK’S BACKKKKKKKK,” Gillette Stadium and the Patriots wrote on Instagram.

Throughout the trek, fans have been treated to a set list full of hits from Wallen’s catalog, in addition to some of his newest releases of his album that inspired the name of the tour.
