Ludacris To Perform Free Postgame Concert At Target Field In Minnesota

Despite battling injuries and an 18-23 record, which puts them in last place in the AL Central, the Minnesota Twins are still just 2.5 games behind the first-place Cleveland Guardians, whom the Twins just took 2 out of 3 from in Cleveland.

So, there is still hope because this is baseball, and the season is long and unpredictable, not to mention that Target Field is still one of the best places to be during the summer in Minnesota.

The Twins have also been making visiting Target Field an easier decision, too. The team has been running pregame Happy Hours on select Friday nights, featuring $2 beers, hot dogs, and snacks from 5:00 to 7:10 p.m., making a Friday night at the ballpark one of the better deals in the Twin Cities.

And now, the Twins have added another reason to not only attend an upcoming game, but to stay long after the final out.

Ludacris Is Performing A Free Postgame Concert On June 26

The Minnesota Twins have announced that three-time GRAMMY Award-winning hip-hop superstar Ludacris will perform a free postgame concert at Target Field on Friday, June 26, following the Twins vs. Colorado Rockies game.

The concert is free with any ticket to that night's game, with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. CT. Ludacris will take the on-field stage approximately 15 minutes after the final out.

Ludacris has been one of hip-hop's most consistent hitmakers since his major label debut in 2000. Four of his nine studio albums topped the Billboard 200, including Chicken-n-Beer, The Red Light District, Release Therapy, and Battle of the Sexes.

He has scored multiple number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Stand Up," produced by Kanye West, and "Money Maker" with Pharrell Williams, which also earned him a Grammy for Best Rap Song.

He was part of one of the biggest songs of the 2000s, co-writing and appearing on Usher's "Yeah!" with Lil Jon, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 weeks and won a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
