The Weeknd Plays Foxborough: Travel Tips, Parking, Schedule

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The Weeknd is playing Gillette Stadium in Foxborough tonight, but getting to the show could be tricky.

Foxborough police put out some tips and things to remember ahead of the show. Specifically, they said, road closures.

Route 1 is the only access to the concert tonight, they said. Secondary roads will be closed or detoured in preparation for the show, which, police said, could draw a crowd of 40,000 people.

Canadian electronic artist Kaytranada and DJ-producer Mike Dean will provide support for the show. The show will start at 6:30 p.m. with parking lots scheduled to open at 2:30 p.m. and gates opening at 4:30 p.m.

Here's what Gillette Stadium officials want you to know before attending:
