With the release of numerous highly anticipated albums either announced or already dropped, many popular artists are coming to Ohio in the upcoming months on tour. From country to rap to alternative, there is a concert for everyone coming up somewhere across the state.
Zara Larsson will be in Cleveland on March 20 at The Agora Theater and Ballroom for her Midnight Sun North American tour with special guest Amelia Moore, which began in late February in Portland, Oregon. Larsson has seen a massive resurgence of her 2010s pop career, with older songs like Lush Life from 2016 regaining popularity, as well as new songs like Midnight Sun from Larsson’s newest album under the same name.
Additionally, Luke Combs will perform at The Ohio Stadium in Columbus on April 25 as part of his My Kinda Saturday Night tour, featuring openers Dierks Bentley, Ty Myers, Jake Wothington and Thelma & James. The tour takes Combs to both North America and Europe over the next five months. Combs’ new album, The Way I Am, is set to be released on March 20, marking his sixth studio album. The 22-track record will be produced by Combs himself, along with collaborators from his past albums.
Also at The Ohio Stadium in Columbus on May 20, Bruno Mars will be performing on his The Romantic Tour, named after his recently released album. Mars will be joined by Leon Thomas and Anderson Paak as DJ Pee.Wee.
“I am so excited to experience his incredible voice in person, and his band is so talented,” said Wadsworth High School junior Brynn Bemiller, who will be attending the Bruno Mars concert. “I loved his music when I was a kid, and I have continued to listen to him ever since.”
Zach Bryan will be in Cleveland on May 9 at Huntington Bank Field, alongside fellow musicians Dijon and J.R. Carroll as a part of the first North American leg of his With Heaven On Tour. This tour will promote Bryan’s newest album, “With Heaven On Top,” released in January of this year.
“This will be my first big country concert, and I have been listening to him since my sophomore year, so I am very excited,” said WHS junior Anna Serger. “I love the sound of his music and the lyrics because he puts a lot of thought behind what he writes.”
There are many more shows across Ohio in the next few months, including Don Toliver, Tame Impala, Megan Moroney, and numerous other artists.
