If your April plans don’t yet include screaming the lyrics to “Real Love” or crying to orchestral renditions of Harry Potter, you might want to reconsider. Columbus and Central Ohio are stacking the deck with concerts this month, and honestly, it’s almost too good (almost).
We’re talking everything from the king of folk music in Bob Dylan to comedy-music legend Kyle Gass from Tenacious D (a.k.a. KG a.k.a. Rage Cage). Oh, and did we mention the world famous glam band Steel Panther? Because yes, you should absolutely go.
Here are 15+ concerts hitting Columbus this April that you should probably go ahead and add to your calendar now before your friends beat you to it.
(And cheers to Spring for bringing these HOT shows to town! 🔥)
