The Atlanta Braves are showing hometown love to R&B superstar Usher with a special night dedicated to the singer at Truist Park on Wednesday, June 18. Fans heading to the Braves vs. Mets game can look forward to a fun mix of giveaways, music, and limited-edition merchandise celebrating Usher’s impact on entertainment and Atlanta culture.
One of the highlights is a collectible Usher bobblehead, featuring the singer doing his signature “Peace Up, A-Town Down” hand gesture. It’s become a part of Braves game-day celebrations, and now it’s getting a custom figure to match. The first 15,000 fans through the gates will receive one, so it’s best to get there early.
Before the game, The Battery Atlanta will be bumping with live music from a DJ spinning Usher’s biggest hits. There’s also a themed “Coming Home Diner” food truck on site, inspired by some of Usher’s most popular tracks. Expect menu items like the “My Way” lemon pepper wet wings, “OMG” fried fish and grits, and “Yeah” shrimp and grits.
Usher also teamed up with the Braves on a capsule collection of apparel that mixes his personal style with the spirit of the city. The co-branded merch will be available starting June 18 at the Braves Clubhouse Store and Threads in The Battery.
The Braves have a track record of honoring Atlanta music legends and spotlighting the city’s creative energy, previously celebrating artists like OutKast and Ludacris. Usher’s night is the latest in a series of cultural nods connecting baseball with the sounds of Atlanta.
Tickets for the June 18 game and full details about the tribute can be found at Braves.com/Promotions.
