“We’re proud to host world-renowned, multi-platinum hip-hop artist Rick Ross in concert at the Red Wings ESL Ballpark,” said MAYOR EVANS. “Rochester continues to rise as a destination for arts and entertainment, drawing crowds to enjoy the power of music and culture. One of Rick Ross’ top hits—“Push it”—reminds us there’s nothing off limits for what Rochester’s cultural scene has to offer residents and visitors alike this summer. I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy another great night of music and entertainment. Rochester is definitely going to groove this summer!”

“We are thrilled to welcome an artist of Rick Ross’ caliber to ESL Ballpark this summer,” said Red Wings General Manager DAN MASON. “He once said, ‘Every day I’m hustlin’,’ and that mindset resonates with our city and our organization. This event is about energy, community, and creating a major moment for Rochester. We can’t wait to see the ballpark packed for an unforgettable night.”

The evening will also feature local opening acts, which will be announced at a later date. The Red Wings and the City of Rochester are committed to showcasing local talent and making this a full celebration of music and community.
