Overview
- The 150th Preakness Stakes will forgo its traditional infield music festival, replacing it with trackside performances by Wyclef Jean and T-Pain on May 17.
- Wyclef Jean will perform a multi-song set, including one featured during the NBC broadcast, while T-Pain will close the event after the final race.
- A newly introduced Infield Fan Zone, hosted by former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, will provide a reimagined attendee experience with live-streamed performances.
- Ticket sales for this year’s Preakness are reportedly exceeding recent years, driven by the milestone anniversary and the final race before Pimlico's planned redesign.
- An affiliated concert featuring DJ D-Nice, Jadakiss, Too Short, and Deborah Cox will take place on May 14 at Baltimore’s Pier Six Pavilion.
