PAWTUCKET, R.I. (March 9, 2026) – Centreville Bank Stadium announced today that it will host its first-ever comedy show on Friday, June 12 at 8 p.m., featuring Grammy-nominated comedian Bill Burr. This milestone performance marks the award-winning stadium’s expansion beyond sports and solidifies its role as Rhode Island’s premier destination for live entertainment.
With tickets expected to be in high demand, fans can sign up for an exclusive presale beginning Thursday, March 12 at 10 a.m., providing early access to tickets before they go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 13, at 10 a.m.
“Bringing Bill Burr to Centreville Bank Stadium for our first live comedy show is an exciting moment for our club and our community,” said Centreville Bank Stadium General Manager Paul Byrne. “From day one, our vision has been to create a venue that delivers unforgettable experiences. This show marks the next chapter in establishing the stadium as a year-round hub for sports and entertainment in Rhode Island.”
The show is presented in partnership with Grand Rising Curations.
“Bill Burr is a national treasure and a comedy icon,” said Grand Rising Curations Founder Dave Niedbalski. “As a New England native who has sold out Fenway Park, having him headline the first-ever comedy show at Centreville Bank Stadium is pretty incredible. We are thrilled to bring him to Pawtucket and welcome fans from across the region.”
Since opening on May 3, 2025, Centreville Bank Stadium has earned national recognition for its innovation and sustainability, including being named “Best New or Renovated Venue” by SportsTravel Magazine at the 2025 TEAMS Conference + Expo in Columbus, Ohio. The stadium’s world-class design includes premium fan amenities, advanced lighting and acoustics, and 100 percent electric, energy-efficient operations.
Home to Rhode Island FC of the United Soccer League Championship, the stadium has hosted marquee sporting events including a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup game against Major League Soccer club New England Revolution, an international friendly featuring the Nicaragua and Puerto Rico men’s national teams, Women’s Elite Rugby, the 2025 Major League Rugby Championship, and the annual college football Governor’s Cup rivalry between Brown University and the University of Rhode Island. The addition of live entertainment further positions Centreville Bank Stadium as a multi-use destination in the Ocean State.
