January 22, 201313 yr Author Isn't this the same lineup that comes every summer? Nope. Luke Bryan has never headlined. Blake Shelton rarely comes to Riverbend (he's been to NKU before though). This is Keith Urban's 1st trip to Cincy in a long time. Rascal Flatt, McGraw, Toby, Paisley, and Aldean are an every year thing, and Kenny is starting to come back regularly after his feud with the city a couple years back that caused him to skip Cincy for 3-4 years. To go along with what UKMF said. Tim McGraw came to Riverbend in 08 and 11. He didn't come the two years in between and then last year he was at PBS with Kenny last year.
January 22, 201313 yr Any word on if they'll have another concert at PBS? I would doubt it. Don't see a reason to with everyone pretty much coming to Riverbend.
January 22, 201313 yr • Thursday, September 26 … Luke Bryan with Thompson Square and Florida Georgia Line I saw this exact lineup in Evansville last week. Luke Bryan alone is worth the price of the ticket. Florida Georgia Line puts on a really good show as well. Not a big fan of Thompson square, but at least they provided a good opportunity to hit the restroom and grab another beer.
January 23, 201313 yr This was my girl's birthday present last year. As she left for school this morning she mentioned that the line-up was being announced today. I think that was a hint..... Smart girl...knows how to plant the seed.
January 23, 201313 yr Author Any word on if they'll have another concert at PBS? I would doubt it. Don't see a reason to with everyone pretty much coming to Riverbend. The only way I see it happening is if they have two or three big named acts touring together. Even with Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney performing together last year, they still didnt' quite sell out.
January 23, 201313 yr Author I may actually get the mega ticket. When does it go on sale? I believe it starts this Friday at 10:00am.
January 23, 201313 yr I'd add Tim McGraw and Brad Paisely to that list as well. 6 out of 9 isn't too bad. Brad didn't sell out last year, Tim wasn't even close.
January 23, 201313 yr Author Brad didn't sell out last year, Tim wasn't even close. Was that because he didn't perform at Riverbend last year? Just kidding, but you are correct, two years ago, he didnt' draw very well at all. I think he will this year though with it being the first country concert of the summer and its on a Saturday night.
January 23, 201313 yr Author It always bothers me how many weekday concerts Cincinnati has... I'd imagine Riverbend would love to have more on the weekends but the artist travel schedule doesn't allow it. Last year was awful, but there are a few more this year.
January 26, 201313 yr Kenny and Tim's time has come and gone, much like Buffet. If anyone is watching their money and can get to 3 of those, would think they would be Keith, Aldean and Bryan. Guranteed good times at those shows. If Bryan's upcoming album surpasses his others as they're saying he could blow up this year

If Bryan's upcoming album surpasses his others as they're saying he could blow up this year[/quote'] I agree with every part of this but Kenny will still sell out. Bryan will do exactly what Aldean did last year. He was already getting huge towards the end of last summer.

Yeah, Cincy, like Louisville, is a stopover town between larger cities such as Chicago, Atlanta, etc., when it comes to big-name acts (whether they are worthy of that status or not). You have a much better chance catching mid-level, regional, indie and up-and-coming acts on the weekends.
