Country rock artist HARDY announces concert at Mississippi State baseball's Dudy Noble Field

Country rock artist Michael Hardy (HARDY) is set to perform at Mississippi State baseball's Dudy Noble Field on Sept. 12, he announced Monday. The performance comes as part of his "Quit!!" tour.

A presale for the tickets starts at 10 a.m. Tuesday, and general sales start at 10 a.m. Friday.

The stage will be located in center field with on-field tickets available along with seating in the grandstand.

Whether it be the cowbell tattoo on his arm or the earpiece featuring the MSU logo often worn during concerts, Hardy's Mississippi State fandom has often been on display. He is a native of Philadelphia, Mississippi.

He is slated to bring Dudy Noble Field its second concert − both coming since the hiring of athletics director Zac Selmon in January 2023. During last season, Brett Eldredge performed at the stadium following MSU's win against rival Ole Miss.

Hardy's concert will lead into a weekend featuring Mississippi State football's contest against Toledo. The Bulldogs are entering their first season with coach Jeff Lebby at the helm.
