There will be a celebrity softball game Friday, May 30, at Kauffman Stadium before the Royals play the Detroit Tigers.

Anyone who buys a ticket to that day's game will be able to watch the celebrity softball game.

The Big Slick Party and Show is set for Saturday, May 31, at T-Mobile Center.

Big Slick began in 2010 with a celebrity poker tournament hosted by Riggle, Rudd and Sudeikis to raise money for Children's Mercy Hospital.

Donations from Big Slick events have raised over $25 million.

Ticket prices and information on other celebrity guests and performers won't be released until tickets go on sale in Spring 2025.
