Xfinity Center concert venue in Mansfield, Massachusetts

Why it matters

Xfinity Center opened as Great Woods in 1986 and has been New England’s standard large summer amphitheatre ever since. The roofed pavilion and huge lawn have hosted decades of tours, giving the building a real generational concert history despite the corporate names that have changed around it.

Getting there

Xfinity Center in Mansfield is a driving venue for most visitors. Get onto the venue approach before the main door rush, save your lot location and assume the exit will be slow when the full crowd reaches the surrounding roads at once.

Bag policy

Before travelling to Xfinity Center, open its official A–Z, FAQ or guest guide and confirm the concert's bag dimensions. A small essentials-only setup is the safest choice when an event notice is more restrictive.

Local tips

Mansfield is a car trip for most people, and the roads around the venue become the bottleneck after large shows. Arrive early, know which lot you are in and consider waiting out the first exit wave. Lawn nights can be humid, wet or unexpectedly cool, so pack for the forecast.
