With major league baseball quickly approaching the halfway point of the regular season, that only means one thing: The MLB All-Star Game is right around the corner.
To celebrate the seminal midsummer classic, the MLBPA, Fanatics, The Topps Company and Lids are partnering to throw their star-studded event The Players Party, headlined by a special performance from Quavo on July 14 in Atlanta.
“There’s a unique energy when your city hosts something as big as the All-Star Game. Performing at the Players Party in Atlanta is my way of giving back to the place that raised me,” Quavo tells Billboard exclusively. “This is bigger than music or sports — it’s about celebrating the hustle, heart, and unity that define the A. Big thanks to the MLBPA, Fanatics, Topps & Lids for making it happen. I’m ready to bring it home!”
The Players Party from previous years featured performers and attendees such as Offset, Fat Joe, Jack Harlow, J Balvin, Lil Jon, Becky G, Travis Kelce, Ken Griffey Jr. and more. Similar to last year, The Players Event will offer guests an exclusive event hat with the chance to enhance with more than 10 unique pin and patch options. The Players Event will take place at Flourish Atlanta, following the Home Run Derby.
Atlanta’s hip-hop presence will be felt during MLB All-Star Week, after Ludacris and Jermaine Dupri shot commercials teasing the city’s upcoming takeover, donning Braves jerseys.
“I’m excited to see it being in this city and how it feels different from when it’s in other cities,” Ludacris told the MLB regarding the All-Star Game being held in his hometown. “It was in Texas last year. And I don’t remember the last time it was in Atlanta — 25 years ago? I’m celebrating my 25-year anniversary. So a lot has changed in 25 years, and I’m just excited to be in this city and see not only what MLB brings to it, but what we bring to MLB.”
The MLB 2025 All-Star Game arrives at Truist Park in Atlanta on July 15.
