FIVE FESTIVALS TO CATCH IN 2026

Buckeye Country Superfest 2026 — Columbus, OH

📅 Saturday, June 13, 2026 • 🏟️ Ohio Stadium (“The Horseshoe”) • Columbus, OH

There’s something poetic about turning the most hallowed ground in Ohio sports into a country music cathedral for one glorious Saturday. Buckeye Country Superfest plants its flag inside Ohio Stadium on June 13, and this year’s headliner makes it an absolute must.

The Headliner: Tyler Childers

Few artists in modern country command a room — or a 100,000-seat stadium — like Tyler Childers. The Kentucky troubadour has become a generational voice, blending Appalachian storytelling with a live show that builds from a whisper to a foot-stomping revival. If you’ve only heard “Feathered Indians” or “All Your’n,” you are in for a religious experience in the Shoe.

The Heavy Hitters Below Him

This is not a one-name bill. The Red Clay Strays have rocketed from bar-band cult favorites to one of the most talked-about live acts in America — their soulful, Southern-rock-tinged set could genuinely steal the day. And Lord Huron, the cinematic indie-folk outfit behind the sleeper smash “The Night We Met,” brings a dreamy, atmospheric change of pace that’s perfect for golden hour.

Don’t Sleep On the Undercard

The real heads will show up early for these:

• Sierra Ferrell — a wildly original, time-traveling voice that fuses Americana, bluegrass, and old-world charm. An absolute showstopper.
• Flatland Cavalry — Texas country done right, with the kind of harmonies that make a stadium feel like a honky-tonk.
• Kaitlin Butts — fierce, funny, and one of the genre’s most charismatic rising stars.

Bonus: there’s a FREE Official Tailgate Fan Fest across from the stadium opening at 10 AM (all ages, no ticket required), featuring Noah Rinker, Willi Carlisle, Annie Bosko, and William Matheny.
