As the year draws to a close, we pause to reflect on all the great tours that rolled through Cincinnati in 2022. To highlight only a few: Olivia Rodrigo's sold-out "Sour" tour at Andrew J. Brady Music Center, Jack White's "Supply Chain Issues" tour, also at the Brady, The Who at TQL Stadium, British post-punk phenomenon Idles at the former PromoWest Pavilion at Ovation (now MegaCorp), The Jacksons at Hard Rock Casino, Imagine Dragons' sold out "Mercury World" tour at Riverbend Music Center, Justin Bieber's "Justice World Tour" at Heritage Bank Center, New Kids on the Block's "Mixtape" tour at Heritage Bank Center, Garth Brooks' 2-night stand at the former Paul Brown Stadium (now Paycor), and of course the city's 3-day R&B party in July: the Cincinnati Music Festival.
Looking ahead, Cincinnati's 2023 concert calendar is filling up quickly with an amazing roster of artists, including Pink's "Born Pink" tour at Great American Ball Park, Dead & Co.'s "The Final Tour" at Riverbend Music Center and a new country music festival in West Chester: the Voices of America Country Music Festival, featuring more than 30 of country music's hottest artists.
Some shows have already sold out, like They Might be Giants at Madison Theater, Billy Strings' three nights at Andrew J. Brady Music Center and Taylor Swift's two shows at Paycor Stadium, while others, like John Mellencamp's two nights at the Aronoff Center for the Arts, have only single seats remaining.
Here's a look at all the concert announcements so far for 2023.
We will keep this list of all the upcoming concerts and comedy shows updated throughout the year. Bookmark it for an updated list whenever you're feeling froggy. Are we missing anything? Email us at calendar@cincinnati.com.
