Parker McCollum will be returning to the Ford Center in Evansville next year. Here's everything you need to know.

2026 is shaping up to be a pretty awesome year for country concerts. We have Bailey Zimmerman headlining the Ford Center for the very first time on March 14th. Then, on March 28th, Hardy will be bringing his new tour to the Ford Center. Two huge shows to kick off 2026 here in Evansville, but we're just getting started. It was just announced that another big tour will be rolling through Evansville in 2026, and it's probably a concert that you won't want to miss.

See How Downtown Evansville Has Changed Over the Years

I find looking back on the way things used to be fascinating. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm living through the current time period. The conveniences of answering any question we have in seconds, or ordering practically anything we want or need and having it delivered to our doorstep is pretty sweet. But, there is something fun about seeing how things around us have evolved. As an Evansville native, and spending quite a bit of my time in downtown Evansville (that's where the station is located), I've always appreciated the older architecture of the buildings around the area. So, I dug into the Willard Library Archives to see how a few of those areas look now compared to then. Some have changed a little, others quite a bit, and a few don't even exist any more. Take a look.
