The event series announced Monday is called “SI Beyond the Pitch” and will bring concerts and VIP fan experiences to South Florida as well as Los Angeles, Dallas and New York during FIFA’s global soccer tournament. Additional performances will include Diplo and Gordo. The Los Angeles kickoff event is scheduled for June 12 at the Hollywood Palladium with Nelly headlining, while Dallas will host a June 20 event at SILO featuring Gordo.

The concert series marks one of Sports Illustrated’s biggest pushes yet into live entertainment and experiential events surrounding major sports moments. “This isn’t just a tournament; it’s the most significant sporting event of a generation to hit American soil,” Joe Silberzweig, founder and CEO of Medium Rare, said in a statement. “We are leaning into that energy to introduce the most high-octane nightlife experiences the global soccer community has ever seen.” The announcement follows the recent success of SI The Party during Super Bowl weekend, which featured performances from The Chainsmokers and Ludacris alongside celebrity guests including Justin Bieber, Travis Kelce and Ciara.
