Turning Up The Dude: The 2026 Walk-Up Playlist

STARKVILLE – Ladies and gentlemen, the time has finally arrived.

No. Not baseball season (although that's here, too.)

It's walk-up-song season.

Thanks to incredibly memorable themes that once ushered Bulldog greats like Jonathan Holder, Jake Mangum and Landon Sims to the mound or plate, the last 10 to 15 years have been the golden era of MSU walk-ups/walk-outs.

You can't think about Elijah MacNamee without a saxophone blaring in your mind. Frank Sinatra's voice will forever conjure up remembrances of Brent Rooker.

What will be the next great State walk-up? Time will tell, but the 2026 Bulldogs have put together several worthy candidates.

There's country and classic rock. Some tunes will allow you to sing along while others will have you fired up to take the field yourself. All of it will be part of the sounds of spring at The Dude in the months to come.

What are your favorites this year? Take your pick. Here is the full MSU baseball walk-up/walk-out song playlist for 2026:
