Brad Paisley headlines NFL Draft 2025 concert Saturday in Green Bay
Brad Paisley will headline the NFL Draft Concert Series in Green Bay on Saturday, performing at Lambeau Field following the final pick.
The NFL has announced country music icon Brad Paisley as the headline act for its Draft Concert Series, closing out the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday, April 26, in Green Bay.
The concert is set to begin about 30 minutes after the final selection is made, with an estimated start time around 6 p.m., subject to how long teams take to complete their picks.
Paisley, a multiple Grammy Award winner with nearly 5 billion streams worldwide, is known for hits including Mud on the Tires, Ticks, Little Moments, Waitin' on a Woman, I'm Gonna Miss Her and American Saturday Night. He will launch his Truck Still Works World Tour on May 21.
The performance will take place at the Draft Theater adjacent to Lambeau Field. Admission is free, and fans are encouraged to arrive early as general viewing will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The venue will remain open for the duration of the Draft programming.
As part of the weekend entertainment, organisers will also host a drone light show on Friday night. The show will feature more than 500 drones flying in synchronised formations above Lambeau Field.
Saturday's concert is part of a broader celebration across Green Bay. The Draft City Music Fest, held downtown, will begin at 5 p.m. and feature Less Than Jake as the headliner at 10 p.m.
Local organisers have compared the NFL Draft concert to the 2011 kickoff event held ahead of the Packers' season opener, when Kid Rock, Lady A and Maroon 5 performed to a crowd of roughly 100,000 outside Lambeau Field.

Super Bowl halftime performer arrested after Sudan and Gaza protest during Kendrick Lamar's set
Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, the performer who staged a protest during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime performance, has been arrested in connection with the incident. Louisiana State Police confirmed the arrest on June 26, stating that Nantambu surrendered through coordination with his legal team. He faces charges of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace by interruption of a lawful assembly. The protest occurred on 9 February 2025 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. During Lamar's performance of 'TV Off,' Nantambu deviated from the choreographed routine, waving a flag with the words 'SUDAN' and 'GAZA' across it. Security quickly intervened, and he was detained by New Orleans police. While initially released without charges, he was banned for life from NFL stadiums and events. In a statement at the time, Super Bowl Halftime Show organisers clarified that no production staff were aware of Nantambu's intentions. Louisiana State Police later assumed investigative responsibility, reviewing security protocols in cooperation with the NFL and local law enforcement. Speaking to NBC News after the event, Nantambu explained his actions were meant to highlight the humanitarian crises in Gaza and Sudan. He called on President Donald Trump to 'be empathetic and compassionate' and to 'do what is right by the Palestinians… and if he can, help the Sudanese.'

Maroon 5's 'All Night' video sparks buzz for unexpected lead
Maroon 5 has released a new music video for their single 'All Night,' featuring model Behati Prinsloo in the lead on-screen role. The video, directed by Aerin Moreno, premiered on June 26, 2025. The visual presents Prinsloo lip-syncing the vocals of the track while dressed in a red outfit, leading the performance alongside the band. Adam Levine, Maroon 5's lead vocalist and Prinsloo's husband, appears playing the saxophone. The setup marks a departure from the band's usual format, placing Prinsloo in a more prominent visual position. The video was previewed a day earlier through a social media post by Levine, which read: 'Maroon 5 has a new front WOMAN.' The teaser generated online discussion ahead of the video's official release. 'All Night' is the second single from the band's upcoming eighth studio album, Love Is Like, which is scheduled for release on August 15, 2025. The album rollout includes a U.S. arena tour planned for fall 2025, with dates in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. In recent interviews, Levine has described the album as more personal in tone. He also revealed that one track, titled 'Priceless,' was written as a tribute to Prinsloo, referring to it as a love song that came together naturally during the writing process. Prinsloo has previously appeared in other Maroon 5 videos, including 'Girls Like You' and 'Middle Ground.' Her appearance in 'All Night' continues the pattern of collaborative visuals between the couple. The release comes as part of a broader promotional effort for the upcoming album and tour. Online responses to the video have focused on the creative direction and shift in on-screen dynamics.

Jason Kelce shocks fans with speedo reveal at Eagles charity event
Retired NFL star Jason Kelce surprised fans with a patriotic twist during a June 25 charity event benefiting the Eagles Autism Foundation. Kelce, hosting alongside fellow Eagles alumni, embraced the summer spirit by dramatically revealing a U.S.A.-themed speedo beneath his American flag shorts. In a viral video shared by the Philadelphia Eagles on social media, Kelce carries a small lifeguard chair into the crowd, climbs atop it, and theatrically rips off his shorts. He paused for a moment in the speedo before stepping down and walking away, as the crowd erupted in surprise and laughter. The post, captioned simply 'We have no words…,' quickly drew widespread attention. Fans flooded the comments with shocked and amused reactions, including, 'The way my jaw dropped 💀😂,' and 'Speechless.' Others referenced his popular New Heights podcast, joking, 'Jason forgot pants for Jason,' and calling him 'The people's Princess.' One fan in particular drew attention—a woman in a blue tank top whose stunned expression quickly became a viral favorite. Comments like, 'Girl in the blue tank about had a heart attack,' and 'Me too girl, me too,' captured the moment's comic impact. Kelce's wife, Kylie Kelce, had hinted at the stunt during a recent appearance on the House of Maher podcast. One fan recalled the moment, writing, 'Oh @kykelce. girl, you warned us. We were not ready. 😂' Even in retirement, Kelce continues to engage with fans in unexpected and entertaining ways—supporting important causes with humor, heart, and a strong sense of community.
