The college world series in Omaha, Nebraska is going to rock this year because rock band X Ambassadors is bringing music back to the College World Series for the opening ceremonies.

For the first time in years, the kickoff concert will take place inside TD Ameritrade Park. The last CWS concert in the ballpark was Martina McBride in 2011. The band will perform at home plate on June 17 after the teams are introduced.

X Ambassadors are being nominated at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards in the categories for Top Rock Artist and Top Rock Song. The 2016 Billboard Music Awards will be hosted by Ciara and Ludacris, who is helming the show for his third year in a row. The annual extravaganza will broadcast live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on May 22 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
