Old Dominion to lead February concert at Tropicana Field

Organizers confirmed Friday that Old Dominion will headline the 2027 Taste of Pinellas concert. The Nashville-based country group has won the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association award for Group of the Year multiple times. Pop musician Andy Grammer will join them on stage. A third artist remains unannounced.
The event will take place on Saturday, February 6, 2027. It is scheduled for Tropicana Field at 1 Tropicana Dr. in St. Petersburg. This marks the first time the festival will be held indoors. The venue change accompanies the event's revival to mark the 100th anniversary of Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital.
Taste of Pinellas previously operated for 26 years at Vinoy Park. It started its run at Straub Park. The annual gathering was canceled in 2013. At the time, organizers cited low attendance and shifts in the local entertainment industry as reasons for ending the event.
Past lineups have included KC and the Sunshine Band, Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Chris Isaak, and Buddy Guy. Other performers over the years included the Blues Brothers, Third Eye Blind, Dashboard Confessional, and Colbie Caillat. The festival is now returning after a 12-year hiatus.
Tickets for the February concert go on sale to the public on Friday, October 30. The admission price includes both headlining acts. Organizers shared the lineup details during a press release on the morning of October 26.
