Buckeye Country Superfest 2027 lineup: Headliners, presale and tickets

Country music is taking over the Horseshoe again.

Buckeye Country Superfest returns to Ohio Stadium in Columbus on Saturday, July 10, 2027, with Chris Stapleton headlining a six-artist country lineup. Cody Johnson and Parker McCollum are also near the top of the bill, while Buffalo Traffic Jam, Blake Whiten and Laci Kaye Booth round out the announced performers.

The 2027 edition arrives 12 years after Buckeye Country Superfest debuted as a two-day event at Ohio Stadium in June 2015. Since then, the festival has become a summer tradition at “The Shoe,” bringing major country artists to one of college football’s most recognizable venues.

Here’s everything to know about the 2027 lineup, event schedule, presales, ticket options and how to find seats on SeatGeek.

When is Buckeye Country Superfest 2027?

Buckeye Country Superfest 2027 takes place Saturday, July 10, 2027 at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.

The current event listing has the festival scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. ET. Individual artist set times have not been announced.

Unlike the inaugural 2015 edition, which stretched across two days, the 2027 festival is currently scheduled as a single-day event.

Who is performing at Buckeye Country Superfest 2027?

Chris Stapleton leads the confirmed lineup, with Cody Johnson and Parker McCollum joining him for a full day of country music at Ohio Stadium.

• Chris Stapleton: The 12-time Grammy winner is the festival’s headliner. Stapleton brings a catalog that includes “Tennessee Whiskey,” “Broken Halos,” “Starting Over” and “White Horse,” along with the kind of live set built for a stadium crowd.

• Cody Johnson: The Texas country star joins the top of the bill with songs including “‘Til You Can’t” and “The Painter.” Johnson has become one of the genre’s biggest touring acts, making him a natural fit for a festival built around large-scale country performances.

• Parker McCollum: Parker McCollum brings his blend of Texas country and mainstream country to the Horseshoe. The “Gold Chain Cowboy” has built a catalog around songs such as “Pretty Heart,” “To Be Loved by You” and “Burn It Down.”

• Buffalo Traffic Jam: The Americana and indie-folk duo adds a rootsier sound to the afternoon lineup.

• Blake Whiten: The South Carolina country-rock artist is one of the emerging names on the 2027 bill.

• Laci Kaye Booth: The country-pop singer rounds out the confirmed six-artist lineup.

The festival has not announced the performance order or individual set times.

What to expect at Buckeye Country Superfest 2027

Buckeye Country Superfest turns one of the country’s most recognizable college football venues into a large-scale reserved-seating concert.

• Ohio Stadium is a more than 100,000-seat venue with a stage positioned at one end of the field and additional seating extending onto the field. The setup means your section can make a meaningful difference, especially when comparing floor seats, lower-bowl sections, club seats and upper-level options.

• Plan for a full afternoon and evening. The event begins at 3 p.m. and includes six artists. Even if you are mainly attending for Stapleton, the earlier acts are part of the festival experience and the schedule could run well into the evening.

• Check your seat before buying. This is a reserved-seating event, so section and location matter more than they would at a traditional general-admission festival. Review the stadium map before purchasing and consider whether you want a floor view, a sideline angle, a lower-bowl location or a higher vantage point.

• Prepare for summer weather. July in Columbus can be hot and humid, particularly during the afternoon portion of the show. Check the forecast before heading to the stadium and plan for several hours of outdoor exposure.

• Charge your phone and review the bag policy. The festival uses mobile ticketing. Saving your tickets to your mobile wallet can help if large crowds affect stadium Wi-Fi.

• The current event information says bags are generally prohibited, with exceptions for medical and diaper bags. Small clutches, wallets and wristlets measuring no more than 5 by 8 by 1 inches are permitted. Policies can change, so review the official event information before leaving for the stadium.

• Consider parking in advance. Prepaid parking options are available. Because Ohio State’s campus is large and festival crowds can be significant, leave extra time to get from your parking area to the stadium gate.
