Jon Pardi Set To Headline NHL Winter Classic’s Barnburner

Country star Jon Pardi will entertain hockey and music fans in Chicago on December 31. Pardi is set to headline Barnburner, a hockey-focused fan experience taking place before the NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field between the Chicago Blackhawks and the St. Louis Blues. Barnburner will take place around Wrigley from noon to 7:30 p.m. CT, with Pardi set to perform on the SAP stage. The event will also host a variety of hockey-themed activities and family-friendly festivities, along with a studio show featuring hockey Hall-Of-Famer Wayne Gretzky. Live on-site pregame coverage from Barnburner will start at 3 p.m., with the broadcast returning for postgame coverage from the event later that night. Pardi recently announced his 2025 Honkytonk Hollywood Tour, which kicks off on April 25 in Lubbock, Texas, with support from Corey Kent and Kassi Ashton. (Billboard)
