15 Songs We Want to Hear at SUMMER 614

SUMMER614 is back for its ninth year, and if history tells us anything, Columbus Commons is about to turn into a Black family reunion.

TICKETS: 9th Annual SUMMER614

This year’s lineup brings together R&B favorites, hip-hop staples, and enough nostalgia to survive the whole summer.

With Keyshia Cole, Ying Yang Twins, Keke Wyatt, and Next taking over downtown on Saturday, May 30th, there’s already plenty of debate around what songs have to make the setlist.
