The 2025 NFL Draft Presented by Bud Light airs live April 24–26 with coverage across multiple networks
The National Football League has announced that global country music superstar Brad Paisley will headline the NFL Draft Concert Series presented by Bud Light on Saturday, April 26th, closing out an unforgettable three days at the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay.
As the grand finale to Draft weekend, Paisley will take the stage at the Draft Theater near Lambeau Field for a free concert following the conclusion of Round 7 of the Draft. A decorated country music icon, Paisley has earned his place in music history with a career spanning more than two decades, multiple Grammy Awards, and nearly five billion career streams worldwide. On May 21st, he will launch the Truck Still Works World Tour.
“There’s nothing like football to bring people together, and the NFL Draft is where it all begins,” Paisley says. “As a lifelong fan, I can’t wait to help close out an unforgettable weekend—with a little music and one heck of a party.”
The NFL Draft Concert Series presented by Bud Light also features a spectacular drone show on Friday, April 25th, following Rounds 2 and 3 of the Draft. As part of the weekend’s entertainment lineup, the nighttime show will light up the Green Bay skyline with a cutting-edge display of more than 500 drones flying in choreographed formations above Lambeau Field, honoring the history of the Draft and the legacy of Packers football.
Paisley joins an elite list of performers who have helped bring the Draft to life through music through the years, including Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley, Weezer, Motely Cru, Ice Cube, Marshmello, Kings of Leon, Fall Out Boy, Big Sean and more.
The NFL recently announced that Milwaukee-based choir members from the James Weldon Johnson Foundation’s National Hymn Choir will sing “Lift Every Voice,” directed by Ben Bedroske, and singer-songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr., will sing the national anthem from the Draft Theater stage on the first day.
All performances as part of the NFL Draft Concert Series presented by Bud Light will take place at the Draft Theater adjacent to the iconic Lambeau Field. General fan viewing for the Draft Concert Series is free and fans are encouraged to arrive early, as standing room will be on a first-come first-served basis. The area will remain open throughout Draft programming.
In addition to the live performances, Titletown will host Draft Experience presented by Jersey Mike’s, the league’s ultimate fan festival, and invites fans of all ages to run the 40-yard dash, take on football drills, meet NFL Legends, grab photos with the Lombardi Trophy and all 58 Super Bowl rings, and enjoy local cuisine. Saturday also features a family-friendly day of activities from a bike parade for young fans, cheese carving demonstrations and a farmer’s market, to live performances by the University of Wisconsin Marching Band and Oneida Smoke Dancers. Draft Experience presented by Jersey Mike’s will be free and open to the public from April 24-26.
