Fans are demanding answers after Fenway Park canceled the concerts scheduled for the legendary baseball field on Thursday, May 29, and Friday, May 30, just hours before Shakira was set to take the stage for the first of the shows (Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn were scheduled for the following night).
The sporting venue announced the news on X at 4:36 p.m., as fans were likely already arriving in the area for Shakira.
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Shakira and Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn performances originally scheduled for May 29 and May 30 respectively at Fenway Park have been canceled," a message from the field's official account read. "Refunds will be available at your point of purchase. We apologize for the inconvenience."

— Fenway Park (@fenwaypark) May 29, 2025Beyond their disappointment, fans were distraught by the lack of transparency from the venue.
"Because " one fan insisted, as another requested, "Can some sort of explanation be provided?"
"We want a detailed explanation," someone else demanded, posting a gif of a cartoon figure holding a flaming torch.
"How is it possible that this venue-related cancelation is announced only 2-3 hours before the show starts? We demand a CLEAR explanation," another response read.
One internet user who wasn't even planning to attend either show noted that "to just say both are cancelled due to 'unforeseen circumstances' is eerie and concerning," wondering why the venue would't "just say" what was going on.
"Unacceptable," someone else said bluntly.
According to reporting from ABC affiliate WCVB 5, Fenway's stage setup began to fall apart during rehearsal on Thursday, with Live Nation telling the publication that "during a routine pre-show check, structural elements were identified as not being up to standard, so the shows were canceled."
Live Nation employees reportedly informed "countless fans" of the unfortunate news as they arrived for Shakira's Thursday night show, while the equipment was being loaded into trucks and taken away.
