NEW YORK, NY [April 22, 2024] – America’s national pastime is getting major league star treatment with the launch today of “Music on the Diamond,” a nationwide concert series featuring top artists performing against the backdrop of iconic Minor League ballparks. “Music on the Diamond,” a first-of-its-kind offering from Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH), the owner/ operator of select Minor League clubs affiliated with Major League Baseball (MLB), and promoted by William Morris Endeavor (WME) and Doussan Music Group (DMG), provides fans with an unparalleled opportunity to witness their favorite stars in a uniquely intimate atmosphere.
This innovative collaboration marks a transformative moment as it opens new avenues for engaging with fans and communities beyond baseball. The “Music on the Diamond” series represents an exciting step towards redefining the role of Minor League ballparks as vibrant hubs of entertainment and culture within their communities.
“Bringing exciting new events and experiences that foster community and draw more people to our ballparks has been a goal of ours at DBH since the very beginning, so launching ‘Music on the Diamond’ is a momentous occasion for us,” said Pat Battle and Peter Freund, Executive Chairman and CEO of DBH, respectively. “Whether you’re catching a glimpse of the Skyliner rollercoaster just beyond the right-field wall at Peoples Natural Gas Field in Altoona or taking in the view of the Sierra Mountains on a clear day at Chukchansi Park in Fresno, Minor League ballparks provide some of the most unique atmospheres for entertainment. We’re thrilled to see these cornerstones of the community open their doors to the public as often as possible.”
