During college football season, the great Ohio Stadium belongs to the Ohio State Buckeyes and fans. However, in early June, the stadium is full of country music fans for a two-day festival that draws tens of thousands to the area. The Ohio Stadium is one of the biggest college venues in the nation, and it allows the country music industry to bring all of Ohio's biggest country music fans to one location for the fun event. The lineup changes from year to year, but it always includes a combination of new country singers and veteran country music superstars.
George Strait and company brought the Buckeye Country Superfest to Columbus, Ohio, in 2015. The festival was previously known as the
George Strait
Country Music Festival, but the event was renamed and relocated from Cleveland to Columbus in the mid-2010s. The change from Cleveland to Columbus was celebrated by fans from all over the state because Columbus is close to the focal point of the state and allowed a variety of Ohioans to access the location and enjoy the concert. The debut Buckeye Country Superfest was celebrated by having native Ohioans and country music superstars take the stage.

George Strait is a regular at the Buckeye Country Superfest. Other country music artists that regularly appear at the festival include Blake Shelton, Chris Janson, Midland, Temecula Road and Raelynn.
The Buckeye Country Superfest is an annual event. The date of the concert can vary from one year to another, but it is usually the first or second weekend in June.
Although the crowd always goes wild when George Strait hits the stage, the most memorable performances at the Buckeye Country Superfest concerts have come from artists who are native to the Midwest state. In 2015, both Lee Brice and Rascal Flatts took the big stage at Ohio Stadium in Columbus. Immediately, the crowd went wild, and it wasn't just because of the music. Both Brice and the members of Rascal Flatts are natives of Columbus, which made their performances that much sweeter to Buckeye audiences.
The country music festival has a main stage at Ohio Stadium, also known as the Schottenstin Center. From one year to another, there may be an alternative stage set up for small, local bands to play before the headlining acts begin to take the main stage, but that detail isn't usually announced beforehand.
FanFest is the biggest attraction on the Buckeye Country Superfest schedule. FanFest, which is a rain or shine, outdoor event, was created by the event's sponsors and includes interactive fan spots, food offerings and a place to tailgate before the stadium gates open. The Fan Fest area of the concert opens hours before the concert begins. Fans can expect to find concert memorabilia, informational pamphlets and much more in and around the stadium before attendees are allowed into the seating area for the main event. In addition to food, concert memorabilia and information materials, concert attendees can take in the culture and history surrounding the stadium.
