Held at Draft Theater near Packers’ home stadium Lambeau Field, the free concert will celebrate the conclusion of the Round 7 draft picks. Brad Paisley is overall a solid choice to headline an NFL Draft concert, as he’s a lifelong fan of the Cleveland Browns and has often spoken of his love of the game.
“There’s nothing like football to bring people together, and the NFL Draft is where it all begins,” Paisley said in a statement, per a report from Billboard.
He continued, “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.”
