(WXYZ) — A new three-day music festival coming to UWM Field in Utica this fall will bring together hip hop, rock and country music stars.

The United States Professional Baseball League (USPBL) announced the complete lineup for the first-ever USPBL Fall Music Classic. It’s set to take place Sept. 18-20.

According to officials, the Friday night lineup will be headlined by country star Chris Janson, along with openers Julia Cole and Michigan native Mac Watts. 

On Saturday night, Grammy-nominated rap star Rick Ross will headline the day, supported by Trick Trick and Esham, plus Detroit artist Ishii Qash. 

Then, the festival will conclude on Sunday with KISS co-founder Gene Simmons, supported by Derek St. Holmes and Kaleido. 

“When we envisioned the Fall Music Classic, we wanted to create much more than a concert series—we wanted an annual event that brings people together through music while celebrating artists who have shaped their genres and generations,” said USPBL Founder and CEO Andy Appleby. “With Chris Janson, Rick Ross and Gene Simmons headlining our inaugural festival, alongside hometown, rising talent, we’ve assembled a lineup that reflects the incredible diversity of music. From country and hip-hop to classic rock, this weekend will celebrate Detroit’s rich musical heritage while creating an unforgettable experience for fans of every genre.”

Tickets range from $75 – $150 and are on sale at the USPBL website.
