FOXBOROUGH – Aussie’s granddaddies of arena rock made a triumphant return to the Bay State May 4  with an explosive which included a two-song encore and FM radio staples from the band’s 50-plus-year career Billed as the “Power Up Tour” (stylized as “PWR/UP Tour”) the concert at Gillette Stadium certainly lived up to its name no matter how you spelled it.Playing to a packed grid-iron of multi-generational concertgoers battery-operated devil horns on top of their heads that were selling like hotcakes at the merch table for $25 a pop AC/DC came barreling out of the starting gate with “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)” from 1979’s “Highway to Hell.” Singer Brian Johnson came out with his arms over his head it seemed apropos because it was a win that he was even there and the band is still together and touring in the first place after the alcohol poisoning death of Bon Scott the longest and most popular singer for the Australian rockers But AC/DC’s future seemed uncertain when Johnson was sidelined in 2016 due to doctor’s orders that he risked losing what little remained of his hearing wearing a sleeveless black Harley-Davidson jersey He belted out tune after tune celebrating the band's love for loud music getting loaded and punching up Lucifer’s coordinates on the GPS While he is truly the perfect front man for AC/DC Johnson would probably be just another struggling British pub singer if it weren't for the guitar god from down under And Angus was playing at nuclear strength capacity from the get-go at Gillette Wearing a blue velvet schoolboy uniform with matching jacket and shorts a yellow baseball cap with the letter “A” and a fat stripe-tie that dangled beyond his inseam Young came barreling on the stage like he was shot out of a cannon and he did so until the very end when they were actually firing real-life cannons With a stack of Marshall amps towering behind him Young paraded out onstage while playing his guitar with aplomb almost like he was the Pied Piper of high decibels and heavy metal Rounding out the band (and standing much further back) were rhythm guitarist Stevie Young who died in 2017 (although Stevie Young has been playing with AC/DC since 2014) By the time the band got to its second number crowd-pleaser “Back in Black,” AC/DC already proved that it was back gargling with razor blade-like vocals were perfectly matched with Angus Young's scorching guitar riffs Not only did the two show that they’re still a rock ‘n’ roll force to be reckoned with AC/DC proved why it is arguably one of the greatest stadium band's to rock the earth Sprinkled between the hard-rocking classics were two enjoyable enough numbers from 2020’s “Power Up” (“Demon Fire” and “Shot in the Dark”) and two more from the 2000s (2000’s “Stiff Upper Lip” and 2008’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll Train”) the songs were all classic from AC/DC’s ‘70s heyday through ’81 AC/DC seemed to be taunting the weather gods above with an electrifying “Thunderstruck.” Shedding his jacket before shredding on the six-string Angus Young brought the song to an explosive climax As a giant bell with the AC/DC logo was lowered from the rafters it was time for — you guessed it — “Hells Bells," aka the best heavy metal song about hearing ominous ringing in one’s ears (Sorry Young scorched his fretboard like a man possessed His heat-emitting precision playing was enough to singe anyone’s eyebrows that were pressed against the stage while Johnson’s was singing at his bile-spewing best The evening’s perfect one-two punch came in the form of two back-to-back Sporting devil’s horns sprouting from his forehead Young delivered the song’s snarly guitar groove while doing his doing his Aussie-version of Chuck Berry’s infamous duckwalk on “Highway to Hell,” while the audience head-bang and harmonized with Johnson in unison Even more thrilling than “Highway to Hell” was “Shoot to Thrill,” where the rhythm section was given permission and plenty of room to fuel the song with a fierce backbeat “Sin City” from 1978’s “Powerage” was a deliciously decadent ditty Not only did Angus provide the song with an arsenal of big he delivered a killer lead on his heavily amped guitar by slamming the frets with his Windsor knotted necktie Let’s see so-called guitar god Jimmy Page do that Committing acts of mischief for fun and profit never sounded as appealing as AC/DC’s “Dirty Deed Done Dirty Cheap.”  After losing his necktie and opening his untucked white shirt Angus seemed to be re-energized as he started head-banging and wailing on his guitar like a little kid While his guitar grooves got down and dirty in the song’s nitty gritty there was never anything that was cheap about “Dirty Deeds.” “You Shook Me All Night Long,” is also arguably AC/DC’s greatest song and easily one of rock ‘n’ roll’s best In addition to knocking the crowd out with a tale about “American thighs,” the massive sing-along also boasted Johnson’s best vocals After a rocking and rambunctious “Whole Lotta Rosie,” there was a whole lot of Angus Young to take in "Let There Be Rock," served as another solid showcase of Angus' massive guitar playing This tour de force on the fret board had Angus playing front and center delivering bone-crunching guitar riffs and roaring guitar solos all of which were mesmerizing and awe-inspiring While whipping the crowd of 42,000 in a frenzy while contorting his mouth into an “O” during this 20-minute all-out Blitzkrieg on his battle axe that needlessly ended with confetti cannons going off “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You),” AC/DC’s production team rolled out working cannons the big guns were still Angus’ guitar playing and Johnson’s howling vocals Fronted by former child actor-turn-rock goddess Taylor Momsen was a combination rock ‘n’ roll pinup and powder-keg performer onstage during the band’s explosive 55-minute No longer the Cindy Lou Who character she played in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” or the thankless kid sister on “Gossip Girl,” Momsen has grown up to be a bonafide rockstar Wearing a white slip under a black leather biker jacket and sporting black raccoon eyeliner blond bombshell proved that she can rock with the guys and still be feminine to boot Commanding the stage like she was the second coming of Cherie Currie Momsen didn't let her petite frame or her good looks get into the way of convincingly belting out her heavy-duty rock who was an uncanny resemblance to Alan Rickman’s Severus Snape character in the “Harry Potter” movies certainly was a star pupil in the Tony Iommi School of heavy metal guitar riffage Phillips provided a fire-and-brimstone foundation for Momsen to unleash her impassioned cries and heart-wrenching growls on a series of ferocious dysfunctional relationship and breakup ditties with warm and fuzzy titles that include “Death By Rock and Roll,” “Follow Me Down,” “Witches Burn,” “Make Me Wanna Die” “Going to Hell” and “Take Me Down.” Legendary rock band AC/DC returns this weekend to Gillette Stadium for the first time in nearly a decade The tour shares its name with AC/DC’s 2020 album drummer Matt Laug and bass player Chris

Angus Young’s prismatic opening riff of “Thunderstruck” was a hair sluggish – the song picked up noticeably after the pause announcing the arrival of the song’s title – and the guitarist’s madman stage moves were doled out in smaller, discrete chunks. And Johnson was largely garbled and incomprehensible, both during the songs and between them. And it didn’t matter. The singer was audible enough to fill his role and the guitarist was impish enough to still throw off sparks. The sound itself was resilient enough for “Back In Black” to hit like a hammer, “Whole Lotta Rosie” to swing like a wrecking ball and the guitars themselves to sound rude in the gleefully self-deprecating “Shot Down In Flames.” Even the newest songs, 2020’s “Demon Fire” and “Shot In The Dark,” did exactly what AC/DC songs need to do.

families get one-on-one services Pederson is the surviving spouse of an Army helicopter pilot who was wounded during the Vietnam War and passed from his service-connected disability in 2021 When staff at the event got wind of her circumstances and her husband’s service and eligibility the team took action and started Pederson on the path to receive survivor benefits “It will be life changing for me if I have added income right now,” she said Everything has gone up and I can’t keep up with it Something like this benefit is going to change my life I wish there were more events like this so you can have that connection and you know someone is there to listen and help.” The New England Veteran Experience Action Center was modeled after a similar event held last year particularly because so many Veterans attended last year Attendees seamlessly moved from VA benefits assistance to VA health care offerings onto a full resource fair that showcased 54 agencies.Veterans and their families were able to connect directly with 15 VA resources 14 federal and state programs from Massachusetts and Rhode Island and 24 Veteran Service Organizations or non-profit agencies that serve the community in

The first step probably will be a request for money Dan McKee about finding some in the state budget Diossa thinks Rhode Island could use between $4 million and $5 million of combined public and private funds for the World Cup "They will continue having conversations," Diossa spokesman Wilder Arboleda said after the meeting on whether McKee is planning to ask lawmakers for funding What will RI get out of a soccer tournament in Massachusetts?The biggest Rhode Island beneficiaries from large sporting events at Gillette Stadium tend to be hotels in Providence that are slightly closer to Foxboro than downtown Boston carnival nature of the World Cup could spread the benefits more broadly to Rhode Island businesses and attractions To make the case for spending state money on planning for the tournament, Diossa had Bryant University economist Edinaldo Tebaldi calculate the economic impact of the World Cup in Rhode Island, based on the estimated effect of the Army-Navy college football game in December 2023 The Army-Navy game was attended by 65,878 people and generated an estimated $3.1 million of economic activity in Rhode Island Boston World Cup organizers estimate 450,000 people will watch seven games in Foxboro and Tebaldi projects that based on the Army-Navy results the World Cup would generate between $25 million and $30 million in direct economic activity On top of that there could be between $45.7 million and $54.8 million in indirect economic activity 'Inundated' by soccer fansBut it won't all be parties and watching the money roll in Rhode Island Emergency Management Director Marc Pappas briefed a state emergency advisory board on what government agencies might have to do to host several thousand boisterous soccer fans from around the globe He told the group there is a possibility that in addition to the attendees of matches in Foxboro Rhode Island could receive international visitors planning to watch their team play in New York and Philadelphia "If you look at the corridor between Boston and New York and Philly we are sitting in the middle of that on the rail line and bus line and think a lot of people will set up shop in Rhode Island and romp up and down wherever the games are played which would overwhelm us on the safety and security piece "We think we are going to get inundated with a large group of folks coming in to see these games," he added the tourism industry would probably welcome a horde of international visitors with international travel to the United States this summer expected to drop due to new stricter border entry policies Officially speaking, Boston is the host city for the World Cup matches in Foxboro, and there is a Boston 2026 host committee to work on event planning with FIFA the international organization that runs the tournament So the big decisions will flow through Boston including whether there will be an officially sanctioned fan festival in Providence These Fan Fests typically have a big screen showing matches in a central location "We won't know until probably end of the year," Diossa said about whether there will be officially sanctioned events in Providence. "I think it'd be ideal to do it in Providence, connected to WaterFire and different activities in the area." Mayor Brett Smiley has proposed $250,000 for World Cup preparations in his budget for next year Asked specifically what the money would be spent on city spokesperson Michaela Antunes said it would go "towards supporting safe activations here in Providence." the City is working to determine how the municipality can best support while anticipating that local and regional events will likely draw thousands of visitors to the area," she wrote in an email "To prepare for that type of multiweek activation the City is working across departments and with state partners to better understand the event's impact in Providence and how we can bring people from across the globe to visit and enjoy our city." the teams competing in the World Cup need to practice somewhere and at least two Rhode Island locations − at the University of Rhode Island and Bryant University − have been considered as team "bases." URI this year took itself out of consideration as a base when the scale of what would be required became clear "URI's decision not to move forward reflects a number of complex factors including the timing of our new student orientation in June long-standing commitments to host local high school graduations and logistics related to major construction projects planned near the Ryan Center," university spokesperson Dawn Bergantino wrote in an email the terms outlined in the proposed contract present financial and logistical challenges that we are unable to confidently accommodate as a public land-grant institution." The Journal is still awaiting an answer from Bryant as to whether it might still serve as a World Cup base The World Cup is played on grass fields, so teams generally do not want to train on artificial turf like the field at the new Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket. What would the state money be used for?Diossa said funding could be used to help pay police overtime and public works staff as well as to put on events Getting fans from Providence to Foxboro is also on Rhode Island officials' agenda The MBTA often runs special commuter trains to Gillette Stadium on New England Patriots game days and that would be an option for World Cup transportation but that would again be a decision made in Boston although most international travelers will probably come through New York or Boston the Rhode Island World Cup working group includes representatives from: Rhode Island Commerce the Providence Warwick Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Rhode Island League of Cities and Towns BOSTON – April 16, 2025 – NWN, the leading provider of AI-powered technology solutions, and the Kraft Group a privately-owned and family-operated holding company with diverse interests that include the New England Patriots New England Revolution and Gillette Stadium today announced a five-year strategic partnership to transform the technology framework underpinning the entire Kraft Group enterprise business portfolio which includes businesses in sports and entertainment NWN is overhauling the existing IT infrastructure at Gillette Stadium to enhance the fan experience modernizing employee support solutions for the Kraft Group and establishing a state-of-the-art infrastructure foundation at the new Patriots training facility "The Kraft Group is one of the largest privately-held companies in the United States and we are proud to be a strategic partner to support the dynamic needs of their diverse portfolio," said Jim Sullivan "As the official technology infrastructure partner of the Kraft Group we are excited to engineer and deliver an innovative and secure IT framework that scales with the organization and supports their long-term business objectives."

It’s the latest milestone in the company’s efforts to redo its two Massachusetts sites as it pulls its manufacturing work out of South Boston to make way for this ambitious 20-building redevelopment Much of the manufacturing will shift to Gillette’s other local property with a groundbreaking scheduled to take place on that expansion next Thursday The 5.7-million-square-foot development in South Boston could take a decade or more to fully build out The total vision includes 1,800 housing units across nine buildings and another 3.5 million square feet of commercial space for offices and labs as well as 200,000 square feet of shops and restaurants and 250,000 square feet of hotel space The buildings would range in height from four or five stories to taller buildings such as a 320-foot-high residential tower near the T station The project also includes a 6.5-acre public park along the channel “We’ve long been proud of our heritage here in Massachusetts,” said Kara Buckley vice president of community affairs at Gillette “We’re excited about the legacy we could leave behind through this plan.” though it’s possible they could remain on the property as it gets redeveloped The fundamental real estate shifts were first announced in October 2023 Gillette has sought feedback from the public holding 15 community meetings over the past two years and working with development consultant Leggat McCall and others to design this new neighborhood but so will most new individual buildings at a later date CBT urban design director Kishore Varanasi said the master plan is designed to link with other improvements along the channel as well as open up new streets through the fenced-off campus to the waterfront was “to not think of this as an enclave in its own right but a pretty significant piece of a larger puzzle.” Varanasi said most of the site will be raised up by at least six feet and will also feature an extension of a berm planned for that side of the channel Much of the property is covered by the state’s Chapter 91 tidelands law which limits how much can be built near the water half of the 31 acres would be open to the public Gillette also wants to ensure the redevelopment includes spaces for civic and cultural uses To Kate Dineen, chief executive of business group A Better City, the Gillette master plan addresses key city priorities such as building more mixed-income housing, climate resiliency, and more public waterfront access. In particular, she cited the waterfront park as a “marquee investment” for the city. (Buckley is a vice chair on ABC’s board.) “An important element of feedback they received from the community [is] they don’t want cookie-cutter development,” Dineen said I think you see that represented across this master plan.” Jon Chesto can be reached at jon.chesto@globe.com.
