Hot shit will be coming to Citizens Bank Park this summer.
The Phillies announced Friday that rapper Nelly will perform a postgame concert at Citizens Bank Park after Tuesday, July 22's game against the Boston Red Sox:
Hot in! So hot in 2025.
3x Grammy winner Nelly will take the stage on Tuesday, July 22nd after the Phillies host the Red Sox.

One of Bryce Harper's long-time walk-up songs is "Ride Wit Me" by Nelly, which is no doubt one of the songs that you'll hear the 2000s rapper perform during his set.
In fact, Harper has previously discussed how big of a fan of Nelly he is. The two actually met in December of 2018 when Harper was a free agent. Nelly, a St. Louis native, tried to speak Harper to the Cardinals into existence:
Does this mean Bryce Harper is signing with the Cubs or the Cardinals? pic.twitter.com/lLZ6TTqx6k
Nelly must still be a really big draw if the Phillies could only get him on a weekday game against the Red Sox. This is normally the type of postgame concert you would have on a Saturday against the Colorado Rockies or Miami Marlins when you're trying to draw fans to the park against an underwhelming opponent.
