The NFL announces country superstar Brad Paisley as headliner of the Draft Concert Series on Saturday, April 26.
As the grand finale to the Draft weekend in Green Bay, Brad Paisley will take the stage at the Draft Theater near Lambeau Field for a free concert following the conclusion of Round 7 of the Draft. The NFL Draft Concert Series is presented by Bud Light, and kicks off Saturday, April 26, closing out three days at the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay.
A decorated country music icon, Paisley has enjoyed a career spanning over two decades, with multiple Grammy Awards, and nearly 5 billion career streams worldwide. He launches his “Truck Still Works World Tour” on May 21.
“There’s nothing like football to bring people together, and the NFL Draft is where it all begins,” said Paisley. “As a lifelong fan, I can’t wait to help close out an unforgettable weekend with a little music and one heck of a party.”
The NFL Draft Concert Series also features a spectacular drone show on Friday, April 25, following Rounds 2-3 of the Draft. As part of the weekend’s entertainment lineup, the nighttime show will light up the Green Bay skyline with a display of over 500 drones flying in choreographed formations above Lambeau Field.
“We’re excited to welcome one of country music’s biggest stars to the Draft,” said Tim Tubito, NFL Senior Director of Global Event Presentation & Entertainment. “Brad understands how football brings people together. His performance is our way of saying thank you to the fans, the prospects, and the city of Green Bay — and the perfect way to close out an unforgettable weekend.”
Paisley joins an elite list of performers who have helped bring the Draft to life through music over the years, including Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley, Weezer, Mötley Crüe, Ice Cube, Marshmello, Kings of Leon, Fall Out Boy, Big Sean, and more.
The NFL also recently announced that Milwaukee-based choir members from the James Weldon Johnson Foundation’s National Hymn Choir will sing “Lift Every Voice,” directed by Ben Bedroske. Singer-songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr. will sing the national anthem from the Draft Theater stage on the first day.
All performances as part of the NFL Draft Concert Series will take place at the Draft Theater, adjacent to the iconic Lambeau Field. General fan viewing for the Draft Concert Series is free and fans are encouraged to arrive early, as standing room will be on a first-come first-served basis.
