Live music in August? Columbus is cranking it to 11.
If you thought music season peaked in July… think again. August is stacked with incredible live music in Columbus and Central Ohio, from stadium-sized pop stars to indie legends and everything in between. Whether you’re into singalongs that shake the arena rafters or vibey outdoor shows under the stars, there’s a concert with your name (and possibly your dance moves) on it.
So grab your earplugs, check your bank account, and let’s dive into the best concerts coming to Columbus this August.
Because you don’t want to be the one who says, “Wait, they were here?”
