There’s an old saying that goes something like this: “There are four seasons in Ohio… Fall, Winter, Spring, and Concert Season.” And while I don’t usually get hyped about the weather, when it comes to live music, I’m more pumped than a 12-year-old at a Taylor Swift concert.
Lucky for us, Concert Season is hitting Central Ohio hard this June. From stadium-shaking tours to intimate shows by cult favorites, Columbus is stacked with can’t-miss concerts.
Whether you’re into rock, country, pop, or something a little more offbeat, this city has something lined up that’ll make your summer playlist jealous.
So go ahead and mark your calendar, dust off your band tees, and get ready to dance, scream, cry, or whatever it is your favorite artist inspires you to do, because June is shaping up to be one of the biggest months for concerts in Columbus and Central Ohio.
Oh, and before we get into the lineup: if you think I’ve missed a show or want to rant about your favorite band being snubbed, feel free to drop me a line. But fair warning… If you’re not subscribed to our daily newsletter, your complaint will be taken with the blandest, most flavorless salt imaginable.
