Huntington Park in Columbus is about to host something absolutely wild from July 23-25. The Cosmic Chili Peppers and the Glow Mojis are rolling into town for their 2026 Cosmic Takeover Tour, bringing a brand of exhibition baseball that sold out completely last year, and honestly, you gotta see this to believe it.
Baseball Under Black Light Is Pure Neon Mayhem
Forget everything you know about baseball, because this ain’t it. We’re talking glow-in-the-dark action played entirely under massive black lights. Seriously, they installed over 100 500-watt black lights for the Chili Peppers’ series in Birmingham earlier this year. Imagine glowing uniforms and UV-reactive baseballs flying around the field! The Clippers’ website describes it best: it’s “part baseball, part neon-fueled party, and 100% unforgettable.” These aren’t just games; they’re full-on experiences.
Before the First Pitch: A Block Party and a Wild History
The fun kicks off way before the 8 p.m. first pitch, with a block party outside the stadium starting at 4:30 p.m. daily. Fans can meet the players, groove to a DJ, and check out other entertainers. Plus, there will be “blacklight activities” to get everyone hyped up before they even step inside. The Cosmic Chili Peppers actually started as a collegiate summer baseball team before converting to this entertainment-branded form of baseball in 2024. How cool is that? MLB.com even believes it’s the first organized sporting event ever to be played entirely under black lights. Talk about innovation!
Snagging Tickets to This Unforgettable Experience
So, how do you get in on this neon-fueled party? It’s not easy. The only way to acquire tickets is through a ticket lottery on the Cosmic Chili Peppers’ website. You gotta put your name, phone number, email address, and desired number of tickets for a game location out there. If you’re one of the lucky ones, you’ll get a text or email notification with the chance to buy tickets. Each ticket runs $35, plus fees, with an optional VIP experience add-on for an extra cost. If you manage to score a spot, get ready for three nights of baseball unlike anything else.
