The Baylor Athletic Department announced Thursday the launch of the "Tailgate Concert Series" to take place before all home football games during the 2016 season. Each concert will take place following the "Bear Walk," which happens two and half hours prior to kickoff. The stage for each performance will be right outside Gate D of McLane Stadium on the grassy area next to the south plaza.

Concerts will last for approximately one hour to leave fans ample time prior to kickoff to enter the stadium. Admission to the concert series is completely free and does not require a game tickets.

IMG, the multimedia rights partner of Baylor University, is a division of WME | IMG, which booked the concert series in conjunction with Baylor Athletic Marketing.

The current scheduled concert lineup for the 2016 season, which is subject to change includes...

Gin Blossoms on Sept. 2 vs. Northwestern State

Wade Bowen on Sept. 10 vs. SMU

The Cadillac Three on Sept. 24 vs. Oklahoma State
