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 R&B royalty like Mary J. Blige to jazz legend Joshua Redman, TikTok rap phenom Connor Price, and even a Pink Floyd tribute band that’ll have you questioning your entire existence — in a good way. Oh, and did we mention the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 concert? Because yes, that’s a thing, and yes, you should go.
Here are 18 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! 🔥)
