Columbus, brace yourselves — September is coming in hot with a lineup of concerts that’ll have you dancing, headbanging, and maybe even shedding a tear. We promise we won’t judge because, after all, watching John Mayer soloing on Althea at Citi Field last year still makes us tear up.
Whether you’re ready to belt out every word with Charli XCX, feel the indie coolness of Goth Babe wash over you, or relive your middle school glory days with Soulja Boy, there’s a show here for everyone—and we mean everyone.
We’re talking genre diversity that spans from classical (for when you want to pretend you’re cultured) to rap (for when you just want to pretend you’re still cool).
So, dig out your favorite band tee, dust off those dancing shoes, and prepare to dive into the wild, wonderful world of live music in Columbus this September.
Because Netflix can wait, but these Columbus concerts won’t!
