Boy Band Night brings the nostalgia, the harmonies, and the hits that made you fall in love with pop music. From the moment you arrive at American Family Field, you'll be transported back to the golden age of choreographed dance moves, matching outfits, and songs you still know every word to.

The Music:

Throughout the evening, American Family Field will pulse with boy band classics from multiple eras. Whether you're Team Backstreet Boys or Team *NSYNC, whether you grew up with New Kids on the Block or One Direction, the soundtrack will celebrate the groups that dominated MTV, TRL, and your teenage bedroom walls. Expect to hear the anthems that filled school dances, summer road trips, and your first concerts.

Stick around after the final out for a spectacular post-game fireworks show. There's something magical about watching fireworks light up the Milwaukee sky while boy band classics play, creating new memories that combine your love of the Brewers with the music that shaped your youth.

👕 The Exclusive Boy Band Night T-Shirt

Your special Theme Night ticket includes an exclusive Boy Band Night t-shirt that you won't find anywhere else. Rock this limited-edition shirt at the game, then add it to your concert tee collection or wear it proudly around Milwaukee. These Theme Night collectibles are only available with ticket package purchases—they're not distributed at the gate like some promotional items.

🏟️ Perfect Friday Night Entertainment

Boy Band Night falls on a Friday evening, making it ideal for a fun night out with friends, a nostalgic date night, or even a multi-generational outing where parents share their favorite boy bands with their kids. The 6:40 PM start time gives you time to get to the ballpark after work, grab dinner at one of American Family Field's concessions, and settle in for an evening of baseball and boy band celebration.

The opponent adds extra excitement too—the Los Angeles Dodgers are always a marquee matchup, bringing star power to complement the musical star power being celebrated throughout the evening. Late May baseball in Milwaukee is beautiful, with warm weather and the season hitting its stride.

🎶 A Multi-Generational Celebration

One of the best things about Boy Band Night is how it spans generations of music fans:

1980s-1990s Fans: New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men, and the groups that started it all

Late 1990s-Early 2000s Fans: The Backstreet Boys vs. *NSYNC rivalry era, 98 Degrees, O-Town

2010s Fans: One Direction, The Wanted, Big Time Rush

Today's Fans: Current groups keeping the boy band tradition alive

Whether you're reliving your teenage years or discovering these classics for the first time, Boy Band Night creates a shared experience across age groups. Parents can introduce their kids to the music that mattered to them, while younger fans can appreciate where today's pop music came from.

🚗 Getting to American Family Field

American Family Field is located at One Brewers Way in Milwaukee, easily accessible from throughout the greater Milwaukee area:

• Waukesha County: I-94 east to Stadium Freeway exit

• North Shore (Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, Mequon): I-43 south

• Ozaukee County: Highway 32 or I-43 south

• Washington County: Highway 41 south to I-94 east

Parking is plentiful with multiple lots surrounding the stadium. Friday night games can get busy, so arriving a bit early gives you time to pick up your exclusive t-shirt, explore the ballpark, and soak in the boy band atmosphere before first pitch.

💃 Make It a Group Outing

Boy Band Night is perfect for group outings! Gather your crew who grew up arguing about which boy band was superior, friends who attended concerts together, or anyone who wants to celebrate pop music history while watching Brewers baseball. Consider coordinating matching outfits (very on-brand for boy band culture), making signs that reference your favorite lyrics, or planning a pre-game dinner at one of the restaurants near American Family Field.

The combination of baseball, nostalgia, exclusive merchandise, and fireworks makes this an ideal choice for birthday celebrations, friend reunions, or just a fun Friday night in Milwaukee.
