Reggae legends MIGHTY CROWN and rapper AK-69 are bringing their sounds to Yokohama Stadium next spring. The duo will headline the "AFTER GAME B-PARTY" events following the Yokohama DeNA BayStars' special "B-PARTY 2026" games on April 11 and 12.

The performances will take place at the team's home venue in Kanagawa after regular Central League games conclude. This collaboration between Japan's baseball and music scenes continues a growing trend of sports teams partnering with major artists for special events.

MIGHTY CROWN, the Yokohama-based reggae sound system that's been representing Japanese reggae culture internationally since the 1990s, brings their hometown connection to the stadium. Meanwhile, AK-69, one of Japan's most prominent rappers known for his energetic live performances, adds hip-hop flavor to the baseball experience.

For international fans visiting Japan, these events offer a unique chance to experience Japanese sports culture alongside live music from established artists. The BayStars have been known for creative fan engagement, and adding live music performances after games creates an entertainment experience that goes beyond traditional baseball.

The "B-PARTY 2026" games promise to combine Japan's beloved pastime with its vibrant music scene, giving both baseball and music fans something special to look forward to in spring 2026.
