Opening Day is less than a month away, but MLB fans haven’t exactly been hibernating in the winter.
While teams were reloading rosters and debating pitching rotations, fans were doing their own important offseason work by going to concerts.
So we pulled SeatGeek ticket data to answer this question: If you went to a team’s MLB game in 2025, which artist were you most likely to see live this past offseason?
The result became a crossover episode between MLB fandom and Spotify Wrapped.
How we built the offseason playlist for every MLB team
As the Official Ticket Marketplace of Major League Baseball, SeatGeek has a front‑row seat to how fans move between innings and encores. To find each fanbase’s “offseason headliner,” we looked at:
MLB buyers: Fans who bought tickets on SeatGeek to at least one MLB game in 2025 for a specific team.
Concert window: That same group’s concert purchases on SeatGeek from November 1 through February 28.
Top artist per team: For each MLB team, we surfaced the single artist that group of buyers went to see most often in that window.
Our favorite storylines from the MLB fanbase offseason concert data
Before you even scroll through the full list, a few storylines jump off the page.
Billie Eilish as everyone’s co‑headliner
Even though she wasn’t the top artist for every single MLB fanbase, Billie Eilish sold more overall concert tickets (not just MLB fans) on SeatGeek than any other artist from November 1 to February 28. When you slice it through a baseball lens, Diamondbacks and Astros fans both claim her as their No. 1 over the offseason, which tracks for a superstar who just wrapped a massive “Hit Me Hard and Soft” arena run that included back‑to‑back nights in Phoenix in November 2025.
L.A. goes full pop princess
Both Los Angeles fanbases made Sabrina Carpenter their offseason headliner. Sabrina sold out a string of “Short n’ Sweet” arena dates, including a multi-night stand at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles in November 2025. Dodgers and Angels fans are used to watching two of the biggest stars in the sport with Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, so it tracks that their offseason move was packing arenas for one of the biggest pop stars too.
Many cold‑weather fanbases opt for Trans‑Siberian Orchestra
Guardians, Phillies, Pirates, Rockies and Twins fans all crowned Trans‑Siberian Orchestra as their No. 1 offseason act. These are the fanbases that basically turned the “Ghosts of Christmas Eve” tour into a winter pilgrimage, with TSO rolling through places like Cleveland’s Rocket Arena, Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena, Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena, Denver’s Ball Arena and Minneapolis’s Target Center on the 2025 run.
Classic rock still owns the bases
Cubs, Braves and Blue Jays fans all ended up with Paul McCartney as their top offseason artist. McCartney’s “Got Back” tour swung through in Nov. 2025 with a two‑night stand at Chicago’s United Center and a doubleheader at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. Those cities treated a Beatle in town like a playoff game.
Red Sox fans’ Andrea Bocelli curveball
One of the most delightful surprises in the whole dataset: Red Sox fans’ top offseason concert was Andrea Bocelli. While a lot of the league was piling into country shows and pop tours, Boston went full operatic legend. Bocelli’s latest North American holiday run included a TD Garden show in December 2025 featuring music from “A Family Christmas” and his other greatest hits.
