CLEVELAND, Ohio - Columbus-based Twenty One Pilots & The Killers will headline a pair of MLB All-Star concerts before the Midsummer Classic in July.

Cleveland’s Welshly Arms will open for Twenty One Pilots on Friday, July 5. White Reaper will take the stage prior to The Killers on Saturday, July 6.

The rain-or-shine concerts will take place outside MLB All-Star Play Ball Park on Mall B in downtown Cleveland and precede choreographed fireworks. The park is an interactive baseball-themed festival being held Friday, July 5, through Tuesday, July 9, inside and outside Huntington Convention Center. This is the first year Major League Baseball has staged the park, which also will have former players - including Hall of Famers - signing autographs.

Gates for the concerts will open at 6 p.m. each night, with the first act taking the stage at 8 p.m. Ticketed fans can line up for entry on St. Clair Avenue at Ontario Street beginning at 4 p.m. No camping out will be allowed, Major League Baseball said in a statement.

Tickets will be available beginning at 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 5, via MLB's website. The concerts are free, but admission requires tickets. Fans can request up to two tickets for either show. MLB reserves the right to disable tickets if there is proof they were sold or were found on the secondary market.

The stage will be near St. Clair. The concert will take place before Twenty One Pilots begins a European leg of their Bandito tour later in July. The Killers are sandwiching the Cleveland stop a day after Summerfest in Milwaukee and a day before the Ottawa Bluesfest in Canada.

The 90th All-Star Game is Tuesday, July 9, at Progressive Field.
