MINNEAPOLIS, MN —The Minnesota Twins announced Monday that rising country music star Cole Swindell will perform a postgame concert at Target Field later this summer.

On August 4, Swindell will put on a 75-minute show after the Twins' 6:40 p.m. game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The concert will begin approximately 15 minutes after the final out. Fans must purchase a ticket to the Twins game in order to attend the free concert.

This is the first, and thus far only, concert scheduled at Target Field this summer. The ballpark has hosted several concerts over the years —including last year's show with Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer —but those shows always fell on a night when the Twins were out of town.
