Another week means another strong concert lineup in Columbus

Last week's concert lineup was carried by two major festivals, The Breakaway Festival and Wonderbus Music & Arts Festival. Together, they brought artists like Duran Duran, Lorde and 21 Savage.

Although the Saturday lineup is a bit light this week - it's hard to schedule a concert the same day as the Ohio State Buckeyes home opener - there are some good shows throughout the week, including Wiz Khalifa coming to Kemba Live on Wednesday and Albert Cummings on Friday at Natalie's Grandview.
