MINNEAPOLIMEDIA NEWS | Ludacris to Headline Minnesota Twins Postgame Concert at Target Field in June

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (May 12, 2026) The Minnesota Twins announced Monday that Grammy Award-winning rapper Ludacris will headline a postgame concert at Target Field this summer as part of the organization’s continuing postgame concert series.

The performance is scheduled for Friday, June 26, following the Twins’ game against the Colorado Rockies. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m., with the concert expected to begin approximately 15 minutes after the final out, according to the Twins organization. 

Team officials said the concert will be free for all fans holding a valid ticket to the June 26 game. The Twins are also offering a separate VIP ticket package that includes exclusive on-field access near the stage following the game.

According to the club, the VIP package includes both a game ticket and a VIP Field Pass. Fans purchasing the upgraded experience will be required to pick up field access wristbands at Target Field Station near Gate 6 and the METRO light rail entrance beginning when stadium gates open and continuing until 20 minutes after first pitch.

The Target Field concert marks another major Minnesota appearance for Ludacris, whose legal name is Christopher Bridges. In July 2025, the artist headlined the Taste of Minnesota in downtown Minneapolis, where organizers reported attendance estimates reaching approximately 75,000 people during the festival weekend. The event temporarily reached capacity due to crowd volume.

The artist also appeared at the 2024 Minnesota State Fair Grandstand concert series alongside T-Pain in a sold-out performance on Aug. 27, 2024. 

Known as one of the defining artists of Southern hip-hop during the early 2000s, Ludacris has earned multiple Grammy Awards and commercial success through hit songs including “Stand Up,” “Roll Out (My Business),” “Area Codes,” and “Move B***h.” In addition to his music career, he is widely recognized for portraying Tej Parker in the Fast & Furious film series.

The Twins’ postgame concert series has become a recurring summer attraction at Target Field, with previous featured artists including Flo Rida and T-Pain. Team officials say the concerts are part of broader efforts to expand entertainment offerings and increase fan engagement during the Major League Baseball season.

Additional ticket and VIP package information is available through the official Minnesota Twins website.
