## The Roster Shows

Here is a closer look at each OnesToWatch roster artist on the Nationwide Arena calendar and why their dates matter.

![artist 396 hero img](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/onestowatch-v2/artist_396_hero_img.jpg)

### 1. Phoebe Bridgers — Tuesday, September 22, 2026 — The Lost Tour

![Phoebe Bridgers](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/onestowatch-v2/artist_396_hero_img.jpg)
Phoebe Bridgers headlines Nationwide Arena on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, on The Lost Tour. She has become one of the defining voices in indie folk-rock over the past decade, and OnesToWatch has followed that rise since her early solo work. A full arena date in Columbus marks how far that trajectory has carried.

### 2. Mac Ayres — Wednesday, September 30, 2026 — The UGLY Tour (Supporting Teddy Swims)

Mac Ayres opens for Teddy Swims at Nationwide Arena on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, on The UGLY Tour. This entry proves the OnesToWatch thesis. Mac Ayres is a roster artist in a support slot at a 20,000-seat arena, playing to an audience that largely does not know his name yet. His R&B-inflected songwriting often turns a headliner’s crowd into a new fanbase in a single set. Plan to arrive early.

![artist 81 img tile](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/onestowatch-v2/artist_81_img_tile.jpg)

### 3. Sturgill Simpson (as Johnny Blue Skies) — Wednesday, October 7, 2026 — Mutiny for the Masses 2026 Tour

![Sturgill Simpson](https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/onestowatch-v2/artist_81_img_tile.jpg)
Sturgill Simpson performs under the Johnny Blue Skies alias with the Dark Clouds at Nationwide Arena on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, as part of the Mutiny for the Masses 2026 Tour. The alias gives Simpson room to sidestep expectations that follow his own name. Early reports from the run point to a live show that leans into that freedom. Nationwide Arena’s own calendar lists this as a confirmed date.

### 4. sombr — Sunday, November 8, 2026 — You Are The Reason Tour

sombr sits near the top of this guide because his emotionally direct songwriting hits with unusual force in large rooms. The You Are The Reason Tour brings that dynamic to a 20,000-seat arena in Columbus on a Sunday night. Demand is strong enough that the show is flagged as high demand, and VIP packages are available. With a 7:00 PM start, this date has the feel of a future “of course” choice.

### 5. Niall Horan — Saturday, March 20, 2027 — Dinner Party Live On Tour

Niall Horan brings the Dinner Party Live On Tour to Nationwide Arena on Saturday, March 20, 2027, at 7:30 PM. This is the furthest-out OnesToWatch roster date on the Columbus calendar, which gives fans extra time to plan travel, budgets, and seats. Aggregator listings also show Cameron Whitcomb connected to the date, though they do not clearly specify whether he appears as an opener, featured guest, or co-billed performer.

## Openers And Emerging Acts Worth Arriving Early For

The opener often delivers the sharpest discovery moment on a live music calendar, and Nationwide Arena’s 2026–2027 schedule includes several that reward early entry.

Mac Ayres opens for Teddy Swims on September 30, 2026. Ayres is a OnesToWatch artist whose soul-influenced songwriting has built a devoted following in smaller rooms, and a Nationwide Arena support slot puts him in front of a crowd already primed for emotional, melody-forward music.

Eva Under Fire opens for Five Finger Death Punch on October 21, 2026. [The American rock band from Detroit, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Under_Fire) brings an out-of-town perspective to a major arena bill.

Seph Schlueter and Katy Nichole appear alongside TobyMac and Jeremy Camp on February 18, 2027. Both represent a newer generation within contemporary Christian music and are worth the early arrival for listeners who follow the genre.

Aggregator listings also show Cameron Whitcomb in connection with Niall Horan’s March 20, 2027 date, though they do not clearly specify whether he is an opening act, featured guest, or co-billed performer. The pattern stays consistent: the support slot on that night deserves attention before you walk in.

The through-line across these dates matches OnesToWatch’s decade of coverage. The support slot is often where the next headliner stands right now.

## Patterns, Themes, And Takeaways

Nationwide Arena functions as a ladder for OnesToWatch artists. The OnesToWatch roster acts playing it in 2026–2027 are at a specific career moment. They have moved past the club circuit but have not reached stadium level, and the rooms they are playing still offer reasonable ticket prices and intimacy. That window will close as these artists move to larger venues.

The fall 2026 stretch is the densest part of the calendar for music. Phoebe Bridgers, Teddy Swims with Mac Ayres, Sturgill Simpson as Johnny Blue Skies, and sombr all land between late September and mid-November. Because these artists sit at different stages of their careers, from sombr’s rapid rise to Bridgers’ established arena status, fans who plan around that run can see four distinct points on the emerging-to-established spectrum in under two months.

The 2027 dates, Niall Horan in March and Greta Van Fleet in July, offer more lead time, which helps with travel and budgeting. The [Greta Van Fleet Into The Beginning Tour](https://qfm96.com/events/greta-van-fleet-at-nationwide-arena) is a 59-city run with no platinum tickets and face-value pricing, which makes the Columbus stop a strong candidate to lock in early.

The Columbus Blue Jackets’ 42-game home schedule fills the arena on nights when no concert is booked, and the marquee matchups, including Edmonton on December 27, Washington on December 31, and Carolina twice, make the hockey calendar worth tracking alongside the concert one.

Fresh information is the key difference. The arena’s own calendar and third-party aggregators list inventory. This guide applies a curatorial filter and refreshes monthly so the information stays actionable when it matters.

      **Answer:**

      - **Text:** OnesToWatch Live is the concert calendar arm of OnesToWatch, a platform that has covered more than 850 emerging and independent artists over the past decade. Where the arena’s calendar lists every event on sale, OnesToWatch Live applies a curatorial filter, identifying which artists on the calendar are on the small-room-to-arena climb, which openers are worth arriving early for, and which nights carry the kind of weight that a raw inventory feed cannot communicate. The roster functions as the recommendation: if an artist is on the OnesToWatch roster, their dates appear on OnesToWatch Live with direct ticket links. The guide is refreshed monthly so the information remains current and actionable.
