While our friendly neighbors in Cleveland boast about being the Rock ‘n’ Roll capital of the world, this impressive lineup of musicians coming to the 614 in March is making a strong case for Columbus being the live music capital of the world.
From Tim McGraw to Olivia Rodrigo and everything in between, there’s a little something for everyone this month. Which shows are you most excited about?
