Jesse Cole, the energetic and ever-innovative owner of the Savannah Bananas, has announced that the team’s 2025 tour will be their most ambitious to date. The Bananas, known for blending baseball with entertainment in a style often compared to the Harlem Globetrotters, will bring their signature “Banana Ball” to 40 cities across 25 U.S. states next year.
Set to begin in early spring, the 2025 Banana Ball World Tour will mark a major expansion for the team, which has rapidly grown from a local Savannah phenomenon into a national sensation. With their unique rulebook, dancing players, mid-game hijinks, and fan-first mentality, the Bananas have redefined what it means to experience a baseball game — and fans across the country are eager for more.
Cole shared the announcement in true Bananas fashion — donning his iconic yellow tuxedo and delivering the news during a high-energy video filled with confetti, dancing, and fanfare. “This tour is going to be the biggest, wildest, most fun we’ve ever had,” he said. “We’re bringing Banana Ball to more fans than ever before, and we can’t wait to make memories in every single city.”
While the full schedule and ticket details are still to come, the team has teased that several new cities will be added to the tour for the first time. Past stops have included major markets like New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, as well as smaller towns that have embraced the team’s zany spirit.
With sellout crowds and viral social media moments following the Bananas wherever they go, the 2025 tour is expected to draw huge interest. Fans are encouraged to join the team’s ticket lottery system early, as demand is expected to be higher than ever.
