It was first used for a concert on August 12, 1995 during its second season of use, when [[Jimmy Buffett]] played at the ballpark as part of his Domino College Tour. The panels set on the outfield grass to hold the stage, however, caused visible damage to the playing surface, leading Indians owner Richard Jacobs to ban concerts at the facility.<ref name=concerts>{{cite news |title=Progressive Field ready for challenge of concerts in back-to-back days |url=http://www.wkyc.com/article/entertainment/music/progressive-field-ready-for-challenge-of-concerts-in-back-to-back-days/456879380 |work=WKYC.com |date=July 14, 2017 |access-date=January 6, 2018}}</ref> Concerts returned to the ballpark in 2011 when the Indians hosted the Indians Music Festival, which featured [[Brad Paisley]] and [[Blake Shelton]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Brad Paisley to headline Indians Music Festival Saturday at Progressive Field |url=http://www.cleveland.com/music/index.ssf/2011/06/brad_paisley_to_headline_india.html |date=June 8, 2011 |author=Yarborough, Chuck |newspaper=[[The Plain Dealer]] |access-date=January 6, 2018}}</ref> Three years later, in 2014, [[Jason Aldean]] played at Progressive Field as part of his [[Burn It Down Tour]], a performance that drew 40,516 fans and included [[Florida Georgia Line]], [[Miranda Lambert]], and [[Tyler Farr]].

The first day, called "Snopening Day", was held on November 26 and the event continued until January 2, 2011. An ice skating track called the "Frozen Mile" was installed around the warning track, the "Batterhorn" was a [[snow tubing]] hill on the [[bleachers]] and other events were staged around the field and home run porch.<ref name="Snow Days 2010">{{cite web|title=Indians Snow Days are coming to Progressive Field|url=http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20100923&content_id=14992478&vkey=pr_cle&fext=.jsp&c_id=cle|publisher=[[Major League Baseball Advanced Media]]|date=September 23, 2010|access-date=July 11, 2012|archive-date=November 19, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111119193146/http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20100923&content_id=14992478&vkey=pr_cle&fext=.jsp&c_id=cle|url-status=dead}}</ref> "Snow Days" returned on November 25, 2011, and closed on January 16, 2012. The Batterhorn was moved to the Toyota Home Run porch and the Frozen Mile was rerouted. The park also added the "Frozen Diamond", an ice rink covering the infield. The second "season" of Snow Days would be the last, due to low attendance that was at least partially attributed to Cleveland's warmest winter on record, with temperatures of {{convert|60|Β°F|Β°C}} on "Snopening Day".<ref name="Snow Days cancelled">{{cite news |title=Snow Days at Progressive Field Cancelled|first=Michael|last=McIntyre|url=http://www.cleveland.com/tipoff/index.ssf/2012/06/cleveland_indians_will_not_rep.html|newspaper=[[The Plain Dealer]]|location=Cleveland|date=June 1, 2012|access-date=July 11, 2012}}</ref>
