Thomas Rhett's 2026 Schottenstein Center Show in Columbus, Ohio: Everything You Need To Know

Thomas Rhett heads back out on the road this fall, bringing his The Soundtrack To Life Tour to Ohio for a night of his country music hits at Columbus' Schottenstein Center this Friday, September 11th, 2026. He's joined by tour-friends Vincent Mason and the nation's favourite Yeehaw Meemaw, Emily Ann Roberts, giving 20,000 fans a night to remember.

Although Rhett has made frequent visits to perform in Ohio, he hasn't been back to Columbus since his 2016 performance at Ohio Stadium for the Buckeye Country Superfest. His fans in Columbus will be super pumped to have the 'Unforgettable' singer back on their turf for the first time in a decade.

The Soundtrack To Life setlist does not disappoint, with Rhett's hits from way back in his catalogue all the way up to his most recent released - and unreleased - songs. Fans that have been with him for a while will be happy to still see tracks like 'Make Me Wanna' and 'Get Me Some of That' while newer fans are likely to dig his more recent hits like 'Somethin' 'Bout A Woman' and 'What's Your Country Song'. There's also his evergreen classics like 'Unforgettable', 'Life Changes', 'Look What God Gave Her' and 'T-Shirt' that are certain to get everyone singing along.

The Soundtrack To Life merch looks great and will be available at shows as well as online here. Make sure you get there early to avoid long queues. Keep your eyes peeled for early merch during the day, too, just make sure it's the official retailer.

There is plenty of parking around the venue, with staff available to help direct you on the day. All Lots are cashless and open around 2 hours before the doors of the event. Fans are encourage to pre-book their parking here.
