MIDLAND, Mich. - Ballpark Music and the Great Lakes Loons are excited to announce that country music superstars Midland will be performing at Dow Diamond on Friday, August 13th as part of their Back to the Minors Tour!

Fans looking to purchase group options are asked to contact the Dow Diamond box office directly.

As part of the event, Midland and Ballpark Music are offering free exposure to locally-owned and operated restaurants at each stop on the tour to help restaurants recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Restaurants can get free exposure on the Dow Diamond video board during the night of the concert in their area by applying at www.bpmconcerts.com/restaurants.

"We're thrilled to be bringing live music back to Dow Diamond for the first time in nearly two years," stated Chris Mundhenk, Great Lakes Loons President and General Manager. "Midland is one of the hottest names in country music today and we're proud to partner with Ballpark Music to bring that caliber of entertainment to the region. Not only is Brandon Bissell and his team at Ballpark Music one of the best in the industry, but as a Midland native and graduate of Bullock Creek High School and Central Michigan University, his passion for our community will make this event one that no one will want to miss."

"Earlier this Spring, we brought Midland to several minor league stadiums, and the environment at the ballpark proved that we can have live music in a safe format while maintaining an amazing concert experience for fans," Ballpark Music Owner and President Brandon Bissell said. "Midland's incredible fanbase deserves much of the credit for moving forward with these new shows. The layout for this show will be following the government regulations at the time of the show. Even if we can open up at 100% capacity, we found that fans love the private space the field pods provide and, at the same time, protects the baseball field by spreading out the fans. It is extremely important to us that the team can play baseball as soon as we leave. The field pods provide the best experience possible for the fans AND the team!"
