The Baltimore Orioles are set to spice up their ballpark vibe with a dash of musical nostalgia. Announcing the return of the Birdland Summer Music Series, the team is kicking things off with a postgame concert by Nelly on May 9 and will follow up with an "I Love the 90s" concert on August 21. Both events are designed to blend the love of America's favorite pastime with some of the most memorable beats of the past decades, ensuring fans get to not only enjoy a day of baseball but also groove to some classic tunes right after.
According to Fox Baltimore, the first postgame concert will feature the 3-time Grammy Award-winning artist Nelly, following the Orioles' afternoon game against the Athletics at 4:05 p.m. Fast forward to later in the summer, fans will be treated to a throwback evening when Vanilla Ice, Tone Loc, Tag Team, and Treach of Naughty by Nature take the stage after the Orioles face the Tampa Bay Rays at 7:05 p.m. Anyone daring to attend both games is invited to stick around and see the performances live.
Adding to the allure, there's a chance for attendees to get up close and personal with the artists. A limited number of on-field passes are up for grabs for the ones who act fast enough to snag them. These exclusive access tickets allow fans to experience the concerts from the infield, potentially sharing the same grass that saw all the baseball action just moments before.
In a statement obtained by WBALTV, the O's disclosed details on how fans could secure tickets for both the games and the concerts. Interested parties should visit the Orioles official website to both witness the games and partake in the evening's sonic festivities. For those looking to literally stand on the field where legends have played, the Orioles have made available the coveted on-field passes through a dedicated music link.
