After another year of COVID-related postponements, the 2022 Fenway Concert Series will return to Lansdowne Street starting June 7, 2022.

Several musicians who were scheduled to play the 2021 Fenway Concert Series and the 2020 Fenway Concert Series will give it another go, with Lady Gaga, Aerosmith, Zac Brown Band, and Def Leppard all hoping for no more COVID-19 delays. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, meanwhile, were slated to play Boston Calling 2020, but will now play a September date at Fenway instead.

New to the Fenway concert series is Perto Rican rapper/singer-songwriter Bad Bunny, who will make his Fenway debut August 18 alongside DJ/producer Alesso.

Perhaps the crown jewel of the 2022 lineup is Paul McCartney, with the former Beatle opening the concert series for the summer with a pair of shows on June 7-8.

Fans who want to purchase tickets for a 2022 Fenway concert can do so through the Red Sox website. For those fans who previously bought tickets to a postponed Fenway concert, those tickets will be valid for the corresponding show this summer.

Here is a complete list of artists set to play 2022 Fenway Park concerts so far.

Note: This article will be updated as more information is announced.

Paul McCartney

Sir Paul McCartney is getting back to Fenway Park not once, but twice in June. After tickets for McCartney’s June 7 Fenway concert sold out during their first week on sale, the former Beatle announced he would perform a second concert on June 8 as well as part of his Got Back Tour. McCartney’s June 7 and 8 concerts will mark his fifth and sixth performances at the home of the Red Sox, following stops in 2016, 2013, and 2009. (Tuesday, June 7 and Wednesday, June 8 at 6:30 p.m.; $100-320; tickets available here)

Zac Brown Band

Looking for a little bit of chicken (fried) and cold beer on a Friday night in Boston this summer? Zac Brown Band has just the ticket. The country stars will make their return to Fenway Park this summer for a concert on Friday, July 15, as part of the group’s “Out in the Middle Tour.” The band last played at Fenway on Aug. 8, 2021. Zac Brown Band has sold out Fenway Park a record 11 times, so you can expect tickets to sell fast when they go on sale January 20 at 10 a.m. (Friday, July 18 at 7 p.m.; tickets available here)

Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard first announced they would be coming to Fenway Park way back in 2019, along with fellow 80s rockers Poison and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. The pair of shows, originally scheduled for Aug. 25-26, 2020, then rescheduled until July 17-18, 2021, before being delayed again, will now be held Aug. 5-6, 2022. (Friday, Aug. 5 at 4 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 6 at 4 p.m.; $54-270; tickets available here)

Bad Bunny, who was named the most listened-to artist worldwide on Spotify for two straight years, will perform at Fenway Park on Thursday, Aug. 18, as part of his “Bad Bunny: World’s Hottest Tour.” The Puerto Rican singer/rapper will be joined at the Fenway show by superstar DJ/producer Alesso. During later dates on the tour, Bad Bunny will team up with Diplo, another high-profile DJ/producer.

Lady Gaga

Local fans of Lady Gaga (known as Little Monsters) will be thrilled to hear that after two years of delays, the pop star’s Chromatica Ball tour is now scheduled to stop at Fenway Park on August 19.
