Morgan Wallen Fined Over $15,000 For Playing Past Curfew At Gillette Stadium

Playing overtime is gonna cost ya.

This weekend, Morgan Wallen headlined two nights at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts as part of his I’m The Problem tour, where he of course brought out some Boston favorites in former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, as well as new Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, who also won three Super Bowls with the team during his playing career.

Between the surprise guests and funny fan moments, it looked like a great show and rowdy crowd, but they might’ve been having too much fun — Morgan ended up playing about 15 minutes over curfew, and according to the Boston Herald, the country singer was fined for doing so.

The town of Foxboro’s concert curfew was set for 11:30 p.m., but the last song started at 11:44. The fine comes in $0.25 per attendee, so Morgan’s fine needed up totaling $15,705. Honestly, that’s chump change for someone selling out stadiums, but a town of Foxboro spokesperson said in a statement that “his team is aware” and it sounds like as long as a check gets signed, it’s really not going to cause too much extra stress or trouble for anyone:

“The Morgan Wallen concert on Friday night is being fined for exceeding the curfew, and his team is aware of this. The curfew was set for 11:30 p.m., but the last song began at 11:44 p.m. — 14 minutes past the cutoff. The fine is assessed at $0.25 per attendee, which totaled $15,705.”

You always hear about curfews and how cities typically have fines for an artist going overtime, which makes sense considering a lot of these venues have people living nearby and they can’t be playing all hours of the night. Most artists are really good about being done on time, because no one wants to be fined, but I’ve never heard an actual breakdown of how much it costs for going over.

I’ve also seen tons of videos on TikTok’s of fans complaining about how late Morgan has come out for the shows, so that could’ve been part of the reason he went over as well. The record fine for Foxboro’s curfew occurred back in 2016, when Bruce Springsteen played until almost midnight, leading to a $22,429 fine.

I think this is probably the least of Morgan’s worries, and he’s headed to Canada following Labor Day weekend to wrap up the tour there.
