Top 10 musical artists that need to perform at Notre Dame Stadium

Who do you want to see play in South Bend?

According to the website setlist.fm, Johnny Cash was the first artist to play at Notre Dame Stadium in 1977. That would be the last musical performance at the stadium until Chicago played at halftime of the Irish’s 2017 game against USC. Since then, Chicago has come back for one other game, and Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have played there twice apiece. Weezer appeared there for the 2019 Winter Classic, and Billy Joel played a full show there in 2022.

Other than that, Notre Dame Stadium has a very paltry history when it comes to hosting big musical acts. I don’t know or care what’s behind that. I just want to see Notre Dame Stadium become a hot spot for concerts like most other stadiums around the world are when they don’t have games to host. Plus, such things only can be a boost to South Bend’s economy, and those shouldn’t have to happen only during football season.

Here are 10 artists I believe need to add Notre Dame Stadium to their next tour:

Weezer, Ice Cube, Marshmello to perform at NFL Draft in Las Vegas

Raiders may not have a pick until late in day two of the draft, Weezer, Ice Cube, and Marshmello offer reasons for local fans to attend.

The NFL Draft has been a big party in recent years, especially since moving it out of Radio City Music Hall and to various cities across the country. This year it is being held at party central in Las Vegas where the Raiders now call home. Today they announced the lineup of performers for each day of the draft and it’s a good one.

Even though the Raiders don’t make their first pick until late in day two, the NFL is giving local fans plenty of reasons to attend.

Wrapping up day one of the draft Thursday night will be Weezer. Following the third round to wrap up day two on Friday night will be self-dubbed ‘President of the Raider Nation’ Ice Cube. And wrapping up the final round of the draft on day three will be Marshmello.

Cube and Marshmello have both performed at Raiders games since they arrived in Las Vegas. Cube had previously performed at games in Oakland prior to the team’s relocation.

All performances will occur at the Draft Theater, which will be located behind the High Roller and the LINQ, adjacent to Caesars Forum.
