What does The Kraft Group own or operate in live music?
- The Kraft Group operates Gillette Stadium. Operation · Reported · verified 2026-10-03 · record
- Gillette Stadium is listed in the published venue portfolio of The Kraft Group. Portfolio listing · Confirmed · verified 2026-10-03 · record
- KAGR is listed in the published venue portfolio of The Kraft Group. Portfolio listing · Confirmed · verified 2026-10-03
The Kraft Group's sports and entertainment division groups Gillette Stadium with the New England Patriots, the New England Revolution, Patriot Place and the analytics business KAGR. For live music, the stadium is the relevant asset: it is where stadium tours play in the Boston market, and the company's own pages list it among the Group's holdings.
A listing among a group's assets is not a statement of which legal entity holds title or in what share. The Patriots' biography of Robert Kraft describes him as owner of the stadium and the Kraft family as its operator; the Group's pages describe the stadium as part of its sports and entertainment business. Live Index records both statements as published and has not reviewed property records.
Ticketing is a separate relationship. The stadium names Ticketmaster as its official ticket vendor, and touring promoters contract for individual dates. Ownership of the building, operation of it, ticket sales and promotion of a concert are recorded here as distinct roles.
Relationship evidence
Each row is one sourced assertion. Ownership, operation, booking, promotion, ticketing, management and roles are recorded separately and never merged. "Unknown" means the cited source does not state it.
