Chris Stapleton Named as Ohio Stadium Sets Its Country Date for Next Summer

Columbus has a date on the calendar: Buckeye Country Superfest is coming back to Ohio Stadium on July 10, 2027, and the lineup is now public. Chris Stapleton is the name at the front of the announcement. That puts one of the most admired voices in country music inside one of the largest college football stadiums in the country, on a Saturday in the middle of summer. For anyone who plans their summer around the right show, it's the kind of news worth marking in ink this far ahead. A stadium this size filled with country fans, with Stapleton at the front of the bill, is a sign of how far this music now reaches from Music Row. Nashville will be watching from about four hundred miles south, and more than a few of its people will likely make the drive.
