Wallen, a record-breaking country artist, will be joined by special guests Parker McCollum, ERNEST and Baily Zimmerman. Wallen completed his eight-month-long “Dangerous” Tour in 2022.

Taylor Swift, coming off the release of her tenth studio album, “Midnights,” plays MetLife Stadium over Memorial Day weekend on May 26, 27 and 28.

July

The K-pop girl group Twice will play one of nine U.S. shows this year at MetLife Stadium on July 6, the band’s first time performing at the home of the New York Giants and Jets. It’s the first time any K-pop girl band headlined at the stadium. Since forming in 2015, the group has sold over 10 million albums and received nearly 6 billion streams on Spotify.

In July, the Queen Bey herself, Beyonce will grace the Meadowlands with her presence on July 29 and July 30 as a stop during her new Renaissance Tour, her first since 2018. Recently becoming the most winningest artist in Grammy history, Beyonce returns to the stage following the success of her seventh studio album, also named “Renaissance.” Beyonce will start her tour in Stockholm, S.E. and tour Europe before heading back to the states to complete the North American leg of her tour.

August

August kicks off at MetLife Stadium with two nights of Metallica’s M72 World Tour, featuring a No Repeats Weekend set by the band with different opening acts each night along with varying set lists. The first night, Aug. 4, will feature supporting acts Pantera and Mammoth WVH with the second night, Aug. 6, featuring Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills. This is Metallica’s first return to the Meadowlands since 2017.

Guns N Roses world tour across the Middle East, Europe and North America stops at MetLife Stadium on Aug. 15. The reunited band released a box set collecting Use Your Illusion I and II. The group’s latest track is 2022’s “Hard Skool.”
