Taste of Pinellas was once one of the county’s biggest concerts, bringing the likes of KC and the Sunshine Band, Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Chris Isaak and Buddy Guy to the lineup.

After announcing its return from a 12-year hiatus, Taste of Pinellas has a 2027 concert lineup to share, too.

This morning, organizers said Old Dominion—an eight-time Academy of Country Music and seven-time Country Music Association “Group of the Year” winner—will headline the party on Feb. 6. Joining the Nashville country group at Taste of Pinellas is pop songwriter Andy Grammer.

Another artist is yet to be announced.

The concerts are included with tickets, which go on sale to the public on Friday, Oct. 30.

Taste of Pinellas has roots in Straub Park and had been held for 26 years at the much larger Vinoy Park. The once annual event was canceled in 2013, citing low attendance in previous years and what organizers described as the “changing landscape” of the local entertainment industry. 

The festival has been revived to mark the 100th anniversary of Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital and will happen this spring at Tropicana Field, the first time Taste of Pinellas will be set indoors.

Other artists that have played Taste of Pinellas include the Blues Brothers, starring Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, Third Eye Blind, Dashboard Confessional, and Colbie Caillat.
