Two More Concert Announcements Coming To NWI

One fan favorite is making his return, while another will take the Hometown Jams stage for the very first time.

Hometown Jams announced today that Scotty McCreery and Mitchell Tenpenny will headline two separate concerts in Northwest Indiana this fall. McCreery returns after a previous Hometown Jams appearance, while Tenpenny will make his highly anticipated Hometown Jams debut.

Scotty McCreery returns to the 1st Source Bank Amphitheater at Central Park Plaza in Valparaiso on Sunday, August 30th, 2026, bringing with him the songs that have made him one of country music's most recognizable voices. From Five More Minutes and You Time to Damn Strait and Cab in a Solo, McCreery continues to connect with audiences through honest songwriting and a live show that feels as genuine as the music itself.

Just a few weeks later, Mitchell Tenpenny makes his Hometown Jams debut at Bulldog Park in Crown Point on Sunday, September 27th, 2026. With hits including Drunk Me, Truth About You, We Got History, and At the End of a Bar, Tenpenny has become one of Nashville's most exciting performers, known for blending country with rock influences and delivering an energetic live show.

"Scotty has always been someone our fans love seeing on our stage, so we're excited to welcome him back," said Tyrus Joseforsky, Founder of Hometown Jams. "At the same time, we've wanted to bring Mitchell to one of our shows for a long time. He's been one of the most requested artists from our fans, and we're excited to finally make it happen."
