Morgan Wallen Faces Fine After His Gillette Stadium Concert Breaks Curfew

Morgan Wallen and his team are having to pay up after Wallen’s recent headlining set on Friday, Aug. 22 at Gillette Stadium (home of the New England Patriots) in Foxborough, Mass., exceeded curfew by about 15 minutes.

According to The Boston Herald, the town of Foxborough had set a curfew for 11:30 p.m., while Wallen’s final song began at 11:44 p.m. — 14 minutes past curfew. The fine was 25 cents per attendee, which totaled $15,705. A statement from a Foxborough spokesperson given to The Boston Herald added, “The Morgan Wallen concert on Friday night is being fined for exceeding the curfew and his team is aware of this.”

Billboard has reached out to a rep for Wallen for comment.

As with many stops on his tour, the country star’s Gillette Stadium shows included some surprise guests, with Wallen welcoming former Patriots player Rob Gronkowski and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.

According to Boston 25 News, Wallen is not the artist who was fined the most for seeing his concert exceed curfew at Gillette. That distinction reportedly goes to Bruce Springsteen, who played until nearly midnight in 2016, and in turn was fined more than $22,000.

As Wallen’s album I’m the Problem, the namesake for his current tour, continues holding down the top slot on the all-genre Billboard 200, he is continuing on his headlining tour, with upcoming stops in Canada, including Toronto on Sept. 4-5, and Edmonton on Sept. 12-13.

I’m the Problem marks Wallen’s third consecutive project to top the Billboard 200, following his 2023 album One Thing at a Time and his 2021 album Dangerous: The Double Album. Wallen has also earned four chart-toppers on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, with “Last Night,” “I Had Some Help,” “Love Somebody” and “What I Want.”
