The Kansas City Royals home opener is Monday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium. Besides being the first Royals home game of the 2017 season, it’s also the first of the pregame concerts that are part of the Royals Local Music Showcase.
Before Monday’s game, two bands will perform on two stages. Chris Hazelton’s Boogaloo 7 will deliver a set of groovy soul/jazz numbers at the Price Chopper Stage, and the Zeros will perform an array of 1980s hits at the Outfield Experience Stage. Both performances start at 1 p.m.
This will be the seventh consecutive year that Kansas City and Lawrence bands have performed for Student Night at the K, which offers $10 tickets for students with a school ID.
