He went from playing Foxboro Stadium to Robert Kraft’s living room.
Dave Matthews — who played the old Foxboro Stadium the year the Patriots won their first of six Super Bowls — rocked Pats owner Robert Kraft’s intimate Fourth of July party on Sunday night in the Hamptons, we hear.
Spies said that Kraft’s wife, Dr. Dana Blumberg, organized the elegant affair herself at the couple’s Hamptons home, where guests included Tom Brady, Kevin Hart, rapper Lil Baby and country crooner Kenny Chesney.
Hip hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash DJ’d the bash.
The party was the first fete hosted by Kraft and Blumberg since they married last fall.
We hear they’re planning to have a party for friends every six months to bring people closer together.
Said a Hamptons regular, “It was one of the most elegant, beautiful events I’ve seen out here in a long time. The décor, the flowers, the lighting… it was a beautiful Hamptons soiree. People thought that Dana had a big-time professional party planner, but she did it herself!”
The insider added that when Kraft introduced Matthews: “Robert said that there is a lot of stuff going on in the world that’s crazy, and we need to, ‘bring people together and have some fun.’ They’re trying every six months to do a party — it was really the first one since they’d gotten married. They’re trying to just bring people together.”
Matthews, along with Brady and other VIP guests, wore a blue square symbolizing standing up to hate in the world. Kraft previously launched the “blue square” symbol as part of his Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism’s $25 million “Stand Up to Jewish Hate” campaign.
Also at the party, where Matthews played for more than 90 minutes, were Jonathan Kraft, the Chainsmokers, Michael Rubin and Camille Fishel, David and Hallee Adelman, former Pats star Devin McCourty and more.
A spy said that by the end, “People didn’t want to leave.”
Sources said that Kraft has known Matthews since the musician played his first gig at the old Foxboro venue in 1998. The Patriots now play at Gillette Stadium.
Kraft and rapper Meek Mill together participated in the 35th International March of the Living, and commemorated the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, in Poland together, we previously reported.
Brady, Mike Tyson and Jon Bon Jovi have also participated in the campaign.
