The Chicago White Sox are cranking up the excitement this summer with their 2026 postgame concert series at Guaranteed Rate Field. This year, they've lined up an eclectic mix of artists: electronic DJ Marshmello, rapper Ja Rule, and country star Cole Swindell. Announced on March 12, 2026, these concerts aim to blend the thrill of baseball with live music, creating an unforgettable fan experience on select Friday nights.
Here's the schedule for the concerts:
- Marshmello: Kicking things off on Friday, June 26, after the game against the Kansas City Royals. Known for his hits like “Happier” and his signature masked look, Marshmello promises to deliver a night of high-energy beats.
- Ja Rule: On Friday, Aug. 7, following the matchup with the Cleveland Guardians. The multi-platinum rapper, famous for tracks such as “Always on Time” and “Mesmerize,” will bring his hip-hop flair to the South Side.
- Cole Swindell: Wrapping up the series on Friday, Sept. 18, after the game against the Detroit Tigers. With chart-toppers like “Chillin’ It” and “Single Saturday Night,” Swindell will infuse the night with Southern vibes.
Each game is set for a 6:40 p.m. CT first pitch, with the concerts starting about 30 minutes after the final out, weather permitting.
Fans can enjoy the music with their game tickets, making it a seamless night of entertainment. For those looking for an up-close experience, special on-field concert passes start at $50 and are available at whitesox.com/concert while supplies last.
Season ticket holders will receive additional details from their reps on adding these passes, and single-game tickets for all home games can be purchased at whitesox.com/tickets.
This series continues the White Sox tradition of postgame entertainment, which has previously featured acts like Pitbull and Flo Rida. These concerts have been a hit, drawing larger crowds and boosting attendance, especially during the team’s rebuilding phase. As the White Sox aim for a more competitive 2026 season under second-year manager Will Venable, and with a promising young core including Shane Smith and Kyle Teel, these events add an extra layer of excitement to the ballpark experience.
Coming off a 60-win 2025, the White Sox hope these concerts will help fill the stands as they strive for success in the AL Central.
