Country superstar Luke Bryan makes history this month at Fort Myers’ JetBlue Park. He’ll be the first major musical act to perform in the Fenway South stadium — the popular spring training home of the Boston Red Sox.
JetBlue has previously hosted big festivals on the grounds outside the baseball field, including the former Fort Rock music festival. But organizers say this is the first time a major artist will perform on the baseball field, itself.
And more concerts are coming, according to Sam Kennedy, president and CEO of the Red Sox. No other shows have been announced yet, though.

“For over a decade, JetBlue Park has been the heart of Red Sox baseball in Southwest Florida, and now we’re excited to expand its role as an entertainment destination,” Kennedy said in a March news release. “Live music is such a huge part of the Fenway Park experience (in Boston) and bringing that tradition to Fort Myers has been a longtime goal.”
For many audience members, this will be their first time seeing a concert at JetBlue Park. Here’s everything you need to know about getting Luke Bryan tickets and seeing shows in Fenway South:
