The Cincinnati Reds have put 2027 single-game tickets on sale with no added fees, and they're pairing the launch with three postgame concerts at Great American Ball Park featuring country stars Dierks Bentley, Bailey Zimmerman and Jordan Davis. Postgame fireworks are also set to return on select Fridays next season, giving fans another reason to stick around after the final out.
According to WLWT, Bentley is scheduled to take the stage on July 1 following the Reds' game against the Chicago White Sox. Jordan Davis will close out the series on September 4 after the Reds face the Chicago Cubs, the station reports. Bailey Zimmerman's performance is also on the calendar for a Reds-Tampa Bay Rays game, though the exact date is in dispute: WLWT lists July 12, while WCPO 9 Cincinnati reports the show falls on July 19.
No-Fee Tickets Already Available
Single-game tickets for the 2027 season are on sale now with no fees attached, but only through Sunday, November 15, per the same WLWT report. The station notes that fans who attend any of the three concert-night games will be able to stay in the ballpark for the postgame show.
The Reds haven't detailed which Fridays will feature fireworks, nor have they released ticket prices or specifics on how fans might access field passes for the concerts, according to the available reporting. Those details, if and when they're announced, would likely follow the pattern set by the team's past postgame entertainment offerings.
How It Compares to the 2026 Series
This wouldn't be the Reds' first rodeo with postgame concerts. The team and the Ohio Lottery rolled out a four-artist lineup for the 2026 season, as Local 12 reported at the time. That series opened July 8, 2026 with Jon Pardi following a Reds-Phillies game, continued with Marshmello on July 31 after a Pirates matchup and Rick Ross on August 14 following a Marlins game, and wrapped up September 4 with Ludacris after the Reds played the Milwaukee Brewers.
For that 2026 series, the station's report noted that all fans holding a game ticket could stay for the postgame concert, while a limited number of Ohio Lottery Field Passes were planned to be made available for fans wanting an on-field vantage point. Whether a similar field-pass option will exist for the 2027 shows hasn't been specified in the latest announcement.
With tickets already moving and three big country names locked into the schedule, Reds fans have a head start on planning their 2027 summer around the ballpark. The fee-free window closes in just over a week, giving procrastinators a tight deadline to take advantage of the offer.
