Pandemic restrictions are largely a thing of the past, which means concerts, festivals and other gatherings are back on the table. Whether you’re an indie girl, a scream queen or something in-between, the Columbus music scene has an option for you.

Although this list is long, it is not exhaustive and does not include shows that have been permanently sold out, such as Caamp Aug. 27-28 and Glass Animals Sept. 24. You can keep an eye out for local artist spotlights through The Lantern’s Columbus’ Own and listen to songs by many of the artists coming to Columbus during the first month of the school year through the What’s Up: Concert Edition Spotify playlist.

Please note: Prices are listed before taxes/fees and are for general admission seating unless otherwise noted.
