Calum Scott is coming to The Fillmore during Red October, considered ‘too late’ by Phillies fans on social media

Hey Phillies fans! Calum Scott, the singer behind the massive, now-legendary remix of “Dancing on My Own” is coming to Philadelphia, in the month of October, during the MLB Postseason – in the year 2024.

Listen, I’m not here to bash Calum Scott but I think we are all in agreement he’s a few years late to the party, right? I mean hell, even the Philadelphia Phillies have moved past “Dancing On My Own” after two seasons of having Scott’s hit remix as the cornerstone of Red October. 

Credit Calum Scott for getting in the mix with Phillies fans in the comments. I agree – just because DOMO is gone, doesn’t mean you can’t go to show if you dig his music.

On top of that, the song is definitely not coming back either. The Phillies are one of the best teams in all of Major League Baseball and currently hold a 10-game lead in the National League East standings. 

Scott while I know it’s much more difficult to plan than what I’m making it out to be, should have came through Philly in 2022 or at the very least, last season. 

While the song was already popular, the Phillies and fans alike helped catapult Scott’s remix to 1 billion streams on Spotify. The song was EVERYWHERE. 

On February 17, 2023 as the Philadelphia Phillies reported to Clearwater, Florida for the start of Spring Training, a decision was made to ditch the 2022 postseason anthem – Calum Scott’s “Dancing On My Own” from Garrett Stubbs’ now infamous Spotify playlist. 

At the time, Stubbs and a few other Phillies players told the media they were going to ditch “Dancing on My Own” because they “didn’t want to listen to second place songs”.

By June 2023, Calum Scott was back in the clubhouse

At the time, Castellanos stated the Phillies started playing the song during the Washington Nationals series that started on June 2, 2023 and once the song started playing, numbers proved it was the perfect “reset” and what I considered the unofficial start of the MLB season on June 1st. 

The Phillies went on to post a 7-3 record to begin June and finished the month 18-8. Castellanos hit .351 with 34 hits, 5 home runs, 21 RBIs, and 12 runs scored during the month while his teammate Kyle Schwarber hit 8 home runs to go along with 16 RBI. 

“Dancing On My Own” proved yet again, it was the perfect recipe for this Phillies team in 2023, at least until NLCS Game 6 and Game 7.

Ironically, the Phillies finished second in the National League rather than second in Major League Baseball. 

No need to revisit that disaster any further, right? 

That brings us to 2024 Spring Training. The entire Phillies team has yet to report but Garrett Stubbs is already working diligently on replacing “Dancing On My Own” after 2023 didn’t yield the same World Series result as 2022. 

Stubbs was asked about his Spotify Playlist and any future plans to replace it.

I mean, we’ve thought about it plenty, right? We tried to get rid of it this last year. And I don’t even wanna use the words “get rid of,” but we tried to move on from it and find something new and fresh. And we ended up reverting back to it. I think the fans have certain feelings about bringing it back in 2024, which I totally understand — when you don’t win the World Series, a lot of fans feel like it’s not a success. And us players feel the same way, too. But there has been a lot of success — not just with the song, but with the team for the past few years — so we do have a lot of really good memories, and I hope that eventually we just do find a new song that gives us a good vibe and a new good energy that people can connect with.

This year, the Phillies have been listening to all types of stuff in the clubhouse, but one song specifically has stuck out. That would be our guys the Armentani Bros and their remix of “Die For You”

According to a few sources – there’s a big playlist makeover in order, led by Garrett Stubbs. We’ll keep you posted when that is officially released.
