Philadelphia baseball fans will have an extra reason to stick around after the Phillies take on the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, August 18.
The Phillies are scheduled to host the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park with first pitch set for 6:40 p.m. ET. Once the game wraps up, the ballpark will shift from baseball mode to concert mode as Flo Rida takes the field for a postgame performance.
The combination of Major League Baseball and a live performance from one of pop and hip-hop’s familiar names gives the night a different feel from a typical regular-season game.
Phillies Face Miami in Tuesday Night Matchup
The evening begins with the Phillies taking on the Miami Marlins in a regular-season matchup at Citizens Bank Park.
First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET, giving fans a chance to watch the Phillies before the entertainment portion of the night begins.
For fans planning to attend, the game itself is part of the larger experience. The postgame concert is included with the game ticket, meaning attendees can stay in the ballpark after the final out without purchasing a separate concert ticket.
Flo Rida Takes the Stage After the Game
Flo Rida will headline the night’s entertainment with an on-field performance following the Phillies game.
The Florida-born rapper and performer is known for a string of major U.S. hits and a career that has crossed over between hip-hop, pop and dance music. His addition gives the Phillies’ August 18 game a strong entertainment angle that goes beyond the usual baseball schedule.
The concert will take place on the field at Citizens Bank Park after the game concludes.
Fans Can Get Closer to the Concert Action
The Phillies are also offering fans an opportunity to get closer to the performance with a special concert field pass.
The field pass provides access to the infield area for the Flo Rida performance. Fans interested in the field experience must have the appropriate pass in addition to their game ticket.
The option gives attendees another way to turn a regular Tuesday night baseball game into a larger entertainment event.
A Different Kind of Night at Citizens Bank Park
Postgame concerts have become a popular way for professional sports teams to add entertainment value to selected games, and the Phillies are bringing that format to Philadelphia this summer.
The August 18 event combines two very different types of entertainment in one ticketed experience. Fans can spend the first part of the night watching the Phillies and then remain at the ballpark for a live performance.
That setup could make the event appealing to groups of friends and families looking for more than a standard ballgame.
What Fans Should Know
The Phillies and Marlins are scheduled to begin at 6:40 p.m. ET on Tuesday, August 18, at Citizens Bank Park.
Flo Rida’s performance will take place after the baseball game, so the concert start time will depend on when the game ends.
Fans attending primarily for the concert should plan to arrive early enough to enter the ballpark before the game and remain inside through the end of the baseball portion of the evening.
Phillies Night Gets an Entertainment Upgrade
The August 18 matchup gives Philadelphia fans a chance to see the Phillies and enjoy a live concert in the same night.
With the Marlins on the field first and Flo Rida taking over afterward, the event offers a combination of baseball and live entertainment that stands out on the Phillies’ summer schedule.
For fans looking for a different kind of night at Citizens Bank Park, the August 18 game could be one of the more distinctive events on the Phillies’ calendar.
